Solution

The correct option is C Platinum
In a catalytic converter, the catalyst (platinum and palladium) is coated onto ceramic beads that are placed in a muffler-like package attached to the exhaust pipe. These catalysts help to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water. They also convert nitrogen oxides back into nitrogen and oxygen.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
