    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Chloroform was once a widely used anesthetic. Its vapor depresses the central nervous system of a patient, allowing a doctor to perform various otherwise painful procedures. Chronic chloroform exposure can damage the liver where chloroform is metabolized to phosgene.
