Solution

The correct option is C Increased CO levels will cause seizures, heart attack and even death.
In an enclosed room, due to limited oxygen availability, incomplete oxidation of the fossil fuel will result in the accumulation of CO in the room. CO dissolves in the blood haemoglobin more rapidly than oxygen to form carboxyhemoglobin and destroys blood's oxygen carrying capacity, which can lead to seizures, heart attacks and death.
