Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, coal, and wood leads to the formation of it. Out of the given options, automobiles are the source of carbon monoxide production.
:
C
Incomplete burning of fuel leads to the formation of carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide gas, when inhaled, combines with blood and reduces its oxygen carrying capacity thereby damaging the nervous system and even results in death.
