The correct Answer is:
B
Chloroform is oxidised to a poisonous gas by aerial oxidation.
`CHCl_(3)+[O] rarr underset("Phosgene")(COCl_(2))+HCl`
Ethyl alcohol is used as a negative catalyst for the aerial oxidation of chloroform is presence of light. It converts `COCl_(2)` to non-poisonous diethyl carbonate.
`COCl_(2)+2C_(2)H_(5)OH rarr O=C(OC_(2)H_(5))+2HCl`
