Correct Answer - Option 3 : Titanium Oxide

The correct answer is Titanium Oxide.

  • Titanium dioxide is used in plastics, paper, paints, tablets, and toothpaste.
    • It is also used in some makeup products that lighten skin color.

  • Fluoride-
    • The top layer of teeth gets damaged due to fluoride, which is called fluorosis.
    • Fluorosis occurs when the amount of fluoride in drinking water and food is 22 mg per liter and above.
    • It has an effect on teeth up to the age of 8 years because the tooth develops during this time.​
  • Sorbitol-
    • Sorbitol, sugar alcohol, is a laxative. It is used to treat constipation.
    • It works by drawing water into the intestines, thus stimulating the bowel movement process.
    • It is also used to treat hyperkalemia (in combination with other drugs) as well as a sweetener (sugar substitute).
  • Calcium Carbonate-
    • Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound whose chemical formula is CaCO3. 
    • It is a common substance found in rocks in all parts of the world.
