The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about which gas is correctly paired with the disease it causes, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the gases and their associated diseases:** - (A) Smog - Asthma - (B) CO (Carbon Monoxide) - Lung damage - (C) SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide) - Skin disease 2. **Evaluate each option:** - **Option (A): Smog - Asthma** - Smog is a type of air pollution that can trigger asthma attacks and worsen respiratory conditions. This pairing is correct. - **Option (B): CO - Lung damage** - Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause serious health issues, primarily affecting the cardiovascular system and reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood rather than directly causing lung damage. This pairing is not entirely accurate. - **Option (C): SO₂ - Skin disease** - Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is known to cause respiratory issues and is a component of acid rain, but it is not typically associated with skin diseases. This pairing is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion:** - The correct pairing is **(A) Smog - Asthma**. ### Final Answer: The gas paired correctly with the disease caused by it is **(A) Smog - Asthma**.
