Rationale: The correct answer is B because carbon monoxide binds strongly to hemoglobin, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen, leading to potential lung damage. Choice A is incorrect because carbon monoxide does not primarily affect the mouth. Choice C is incorrect because carbon monoxide primarily affects the respiratory system, not the spleen or liver. Choice D is incorrect because carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin, reducing its oxygen-carrying capacity, rather than causing overproduction.
