Ahighly poisonous gas is produced
Bhighly combustible oxygen gas is produced
Chighly explosive hydrogen gas is produced
Dcorrosive gases are produced
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) highly explosive hydrogen gas is produced. During the charging process of batteries, the chemical reaction within the battery produces hydrogen gas. This hydrogen gas is highly explosive and can build up in an enclosed space, creating a dangerous situation. Proper ventilation is required to disperse the hydrogen and prevent the accumulation of this explosive gas. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the specific hazard associated with battery charging - the production of highly explosive hydrogen gas.
