Asphyxiation hazards: Select one: a. can cause injury at the site they contact the body. b. cause involuntary muscle contractions. c. prevent the body from absorbing oxygen. d. can cause permanent damage to anything they touch.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C. Prevent the body from absorbing the oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

An asphyxiant is a vapor or gas that can result in death or unconsciousness due to suffocation. Such suffocation is termed as asphyxiation.

It takes place because of very less oxygen present in air or vapor which prevent the individual body to absorb oxygen. Major asphyxiants are nitrogen, hilum, propane, methane and carbon dioxide.

This, the correct answer is option c.
