Solution

The correct option is C Organochlorine
DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a colourless, crystalline, tasteless and almost odourless organochloride. It is known for its insecticidal properties. DDT has been formulated in almost every conceivable form, including solutions in xylene or petroleum distillates, emulsifiable concentrates, water-wettable powders, granules, aerosols, smoke candles and charges for vaporizers and lotions. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
