Answer 1

Answer:

d. The system of water spray pipes did not have sufficient water supply

Explanation:

The Union Carbide India Ltd. was chemical factory situated at Bhopal that produces various pesticides, batteries, plastics, welding equipment, etc. The plant in Bhopal produces pesticides. In the year 1984, on the night of 2nd December, a devastating disaster occurred on the Bhopal plant which killed millions of people due to the leakage of the poisonous, methyl isocyanate. This disaster is known as Bhopal Gas tragedy.

Soon after the gas pipe exploded, the fire brigade started spraying water into the air to $\text{knock down}$ the cloud of the gases in the air but there was not sufficient amount of water in the water sprays and so it was not effective.

Thus the correct answer is option (d).
