Solution
The correct option is C Lead
Lead compounds in the exhaust gas deposit on the surface of the exhaust system of automobiles and later flake off to become exhausted. Lead exposure can cause permanent brain damage and associated developmental problems. Acute poisoning with lead can cause seizures and coma that can be fatal. It also affects the peripheral nervous system by interfering the brain's interaction with the rest of the body. Thus the correct answer is option C.
