Solution

The correct option is C The solution will burn for a while, then stops burning.
The density of Kerosene is lower than the density of water, so when the beaker is kept undisturbed, kerosene will be floating on the surface of the water. If we try to ignite the solution without disturbing it, the Kerosene will start to get burned.
