Solution

The correct option is C

Carbon dioxide


During burning of fossil fuels (coal and petroleum) carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide are released. But out of these gases, carbon dioxide is non-poisonous. Though an excess concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is not desirable as it is a greenhouse gas but it is not poisonous in nature.
