Solution
The correct option is D CO
Motor vehicle emissions contribute to air pollution and are a major ingredient in the creation of smog in some large cities. Transportation contributes to more than half of the carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, toxic non-irritating gas. It is a product by incomplete combustion of fuel such as natural gas, coal or wood. Vehicular exhaust is a major source of carbon monoxide.
