Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

Large concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) can indeed have harmful effects on human health. When inhaled, CO can slow down physical and mental activity, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. At higher concentrations, it can be life-threatening, potentially leading to unconsciousness or death due to lack of oxygen in the bloodstream.
