Solution

The correct option is B Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is formed due to incomplete combustion of carbon. The combining capacity of carbon monoxide with haemoglobin is comparatively larger than that of oxygen with haemoglobin. Thus, the oxygen carrying capacity of RBCs becomes low and oxygen supply to the cells are hindered causing nausea and giddiness.
