The correct option is B Radioactive fallout engulfed Bhopal.
The Bhopal Gas tragedy was a Gas leak incident on the night of 2-3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide pesticide plant. The gas leaked was Methylisocyanate gas which took lives of approx. 4000 people and caused exposure to thousands. Methyl isocyanate is an organic compound which acts as an intermediate chemical in the production of carbamate pesticides. Carbamate is also an organic compound derived from carbamic acid. Carbamate is highly toxic material used in making rubbers and adhesives.It was not radioactive fallout.Hence, the correct answer is 'Radioactive fallout engulfed Bhopal.'
