Answer : The correct option is, (d) zinc phosphide

Explanation :

Rodenticides is basically a rat poison and they are non-specific pest control chemicals that are made and sold for the purpose of the killing rodents (rat).

Specially, metal phosphides have been used to killing rodents. The death occurs commonly within 1-3 days after ingestion.

The acid present in the digestive system of the rodent reacts with the metal phosphide (zinc phosphide) to produced the toxic phosphine as a poisonous gas.

Hence, the chemical name of rat poison is, zinc phosphide.
