The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Event**: The Bhopal tragedy refers to a gas leak incident that occurred on the night of December 2-3, 1984, at the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India. 2. **Recognize the Substance Involved**: The gas that leaked was methyl isocyanate (MIC), which is an organic compound used in the production of carbamate pesticides. 3. **Assess the Impact**: The tragedy resulted in the deaths of approximately 4,000 people and exposed thousands more to toxic gas. 4. **Evaluate the Statements**: - **Statement about Radioactive Fallout**: The claim that "radioactive fallout engulfed Bhopal" is incorrect.
