[A] IIT Kanpur
[B] DRDO
[C] IIT Delhi
[D] South India Textile Research Association

Answer 1

C [IIT Delhi]

Notes:

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi have developed a modified cotton fabric capable of adsorbing harmful air pollutants.

ZIF-8@CM Cotton and ZIF-67@CM Cotton, as they are called, are Zeolite Imidazolate Framework (ZIF)-modified functionalised fabrics which adsorb high levels of organic air pollutants like benzene, aniline, and styrene from the ambient air.

The ZIF functionalised textiles possess a huge potential for applications as protective garments and in controlling indoor air pollution.

Answer 2

Answer:
