Which statement correctly identifies Crocidolite?

• A. Chrysotile is blue and long and straight.
• B. Amosite is blue and long and straight.
• C. Crocidolite is blue and long and straight.
• D. Chrysotile is brown and long and curly.

Answer: (C)

Crocidolite is blue asbestos, known for its blue color and long, straight fibers. This combination is distinctive, which is why describing Crocidolite as blue and long and straight is the best match. Chrysotile is white asbestos and its fibers tend to be curly, not blue; Amosite is brown asbestos, with brown color. So the blue color plus long, straight fibers specifically identify Crocidolite.
