Solution

The correct option is B dry ice
In solid state, carbon dioxide is commonly called as dry ice. Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is used primarily as a cooling agent, but is also used in fog machines at theatres for dramatic effects. Its advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice. It is useful for preserving frozen foods where mechanical cooling is unavailable.
