Solution

The correct example of externality is:

c. a person smokes in front of people who doesn't smoke making some people cover their nose or cough because of the inhaled smoke.

An externality is a consequence of an industrial or commercial activity which affects other parties without this being reflected in market prices, such as the pollination of surrounding crops by bees kept for honey. In this case, the smoker is creating a negative externality by causing discomfort to those around them.
