The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Bhopal Tragedy**: The Bhopal gas tragedy occurred on the night of December 2-3, 1984, at the Union Carbide India Limited pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. It is one of the worst industrial disasters in history. 2. **Identify the Gas Involved**: The gas that leaked during this incident was methyl isocyanide (MIC), which is a highly toxic substance. 3. **Assess the Impact**: Over 500,000 people were exposed to the toxic gas, leading to severe health issues and fatalities. Approximately 3,878 people died as a result of the gas leak, with around 1,600 deaths attributed directly to inhalation of methyl isocyanide. 4. **Evaluate the Statements**: The question provides four statements about the Bhopal tragedy, and we need to identify which one is incorrect: - **Option A**: "Methyl isocyanide gas leak took place." (This is correct.) - **Option B**: "Thousands of human beings died." (This is also correct, as many people died.) - **Option C**: "Radioactive fallout in Gulf Bhopal." (This is incorrect; the incident involved a gas leak, not radioactive fallout.) - **Option D**: "It took place in the night of December 2 and 3, 1984." (This is correct.) 5. **Conclusion**: The wrong statement is **Option C**, which incorrectly refers to radioactive fallout instead of the gas leak. **Final Answer**: Option C is the wrong statement regarding the Bhopal tragedy. ---
