• A. Dust (D)
• B. Granule (G)
• C. Aerosol (pressurized can)
• D. Fumigant

Answer: (A)

Dust is a finely ground dry mixture where a small amount of pesticide is blended with an inert carrier like talc, clay, or volcanic ash. That exact description—dry, powdery composition with an inert carrier—defines the dust form. Granules are larger particles used for different applications, aerosols are sprays from a pressurized can creating a mist of droplets, and fumigants are gases used to treat spaces. So the described substance fits the dust form perfectly.
