Answer»

Correct choice is (c) It is an inert gas

Easy explanation: Gases like argon is also nontoxic. However, nitrogen gas is still the most preferred since it eliminates all the possibilities of unwanted oxidation and explosions. In the WELDING industry this prevents metals from CORRODING. Nitrogen is USED in the food industry for PACKAGING since it PROVIDES a pressurized atmosphere that reduces package collapse.
