C trichloromethane
D sulfuric chlorohydrin
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) trichloromethane. Trichloromethane is a common synonym for chloroform, which is a colorless, volatile liquid often used as an anesthetic or solvent. The chemical formula for chloroform is CHCl3, which is trichloromethane. The other answer choices do not refer to chloroform or any of its synonyms. The other options are incorrect because: A) Chlorine gas is a greenish-yellow gas, not a liquid anesthetic. B) 4-methyl phenol is a different chemical compound unrelated to chloroform. D) Sulfuric chlorohydrin is not a common synonym for chloroform.
