Solution

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are used in the making of all the four mentioned items. Here's how:

  1. Aerosols: HFCs are used as propellants in aerosol products. They help in spraying out the product from its container.

  2. Foam Agents: HFCs are used in the production of foams like those used in the insulation industry. They help in creating the foam structure.

  3. Fire Retardants: HFCs are used in some types of fire extinguishing systems. They help in suppressing the fire.

  4. Lubricants: HFCs are used as refrigeration lubricants due to their excellent cooling properties.

So, hydrofluorocarbons are used in the making of all the four items mentioned above.
