Correct Answer: sulphur


Solution : The correct answer is sulphur.

Sulphur present inside garlic causes bad breath, and it has a pungent smell. Sulphur is a bitter, tasteless substance that is pale yellow, and it does not dissolve completely in air. When we cut the garlic, allyl methyl sulphide gets released, which causes bad breath and a pungent smell after eating that garlic.
