Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Organic solvents used in dyeing and printing processes can be harsh on the skin. Excessive exposure to these chemicals often leads to dermatitis, which is:

Inflammation or irritation of the skin
Symptoms include redness, itching, and rash
Caused by direct contact with solvents or prolonged exposure

While solvents can also pose risks for other health issues, dermatitis is the most common skin-related problem in such environments.
Explanation of Other Options:

(A) Asthma: Related to respiratory system, less common from skin contact.
(B) Cancer: Long-term exposure can increase risk but is less immediate.
(C) Hearing loss: Not related to organic solvents.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (D).
