Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Carbon monoxide

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Carbon monoxide (CO) binds with \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{II})\) of haemoglobin to form stable carboxy haemoglobin complex. So, presence of \(\mathrm{CO}\) affects transportion of \(\mathrm{O}_2\) by haemoglobin and it produces toxic effect.
