A) Methane
B) Ethane
C) Carbon monoxide
D) Carbon di-oxide
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Exhaust fumes of motor cars, gases produced from coal fire in a closed room and coal gas, all contain carbon monoxide, which is the cause of their poisonous nature. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it prevents the oxygen from combining with hemoglobin and instead combines itself with hemoglobin to form carboxy haemoglobin, which is stable compound. This causes oxygen starvation in the body tissues and eventually causes death by suffocation.
