Solution

The correct option is C Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have fused aromatic rings, that is, rings that share one or more sides. Studies of people show that individuals exposed by breathing or skin contact for long periods to mixtures that contain PAHs and other compounds can also develop cancer.
