Solution

The correct option is C Odourless
Sulfur dioxide $(S O_{2})$ has a very nasty, pungent and sharp smell. It is a choking gas, released when sulphur compounds are burned in excess oxygen. It is a colourless gas and bears a bent shape with polarity due to the high electronegativity of the oxygen atom.
