Solution
The correct option is C Inert
Nitrogen is a colourless, odourless gas and has no taste. The fairly inert nature of nitrogen gas is responsible for its extensive use in the food packaging industry.
The inert nature of nitrogen gas is due to the triple bond which exists between the atoms in a nitrogen molecule. This strong bond makes the nitrogen molecule quite unreactive and stable.
