The correct option is (c) Hydrogen sulphide
The best explanation: Hydrogen sulphide is not an organic toxin. It is an inorganic toxin. It exists in the gas phase at ambient temperatures, if finely divided or has a high vapor pressure. But, hydrogen sulphide, becomes far less toxic, when oxidized. Aldrin, Dieldrin, and Toxaphene are organic toxins.
