Introduction To Biotechnology — Part 1 MCQs with Explanations

Haber was a German chemist who played a crucial role in the development of chemical warfare during World War I. He is known for developing chlorine gas , one of the first poison gases used in warfare. Fritz Haber led the German chemical warfare program and was instrumental in organizing the first large-scale use of poison gas at the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. While his contributions to chemistry (such as the Haber-Bosch process) were significant for agriculture, his role in chemical warfare remains controversial. Therefore, the correct answer is Haber.
