Solution
The correct option is B Scrubber
A pollution control device which can remove gases like SO2 is known as a scrubber. It removes most of the sulfur oxides from the smokestack exhaust of a power plant when sulfur dioxide enters a scrubber.
In the scrubber, there is a water spray that produces a cloud of fine water droplets. The water is mixed with crushed limestone, which reacts with the sulfur and pulls it out of the exhaust.
