A

`{:(X,Y,Z),("Carbon -mono -oxide","Oxygen","Carbon di -oxide"):}`

B

`{:(X,Y,Z),("Carbon -di -oxide ","Water","Carbonic Acid"):}`

C

`{:(X,Y,Z),("Carbon -mono -oxide ","Haemoglobin","Oxygen"):}`

D

`{:(X,Y,Z),("Carbon -di -oxide ","Blood Platelets","Oxygen"):}`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The incomplete combustion of firewood in homes produces a poisonous gas called carbon mono -oxide .When carbon mono -oxide is inhaled , it combines with haemoglobin present in blood .This combination reduces the capacity of blood to carry oxygen , causing respiratory problems.
