Solution

The correct option is C False
Biogas is a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide produced by the decomposition of plant and animal waste, that is used as fuel. Biogas is an excellent fuel as it contains up to 75% methane. It burns without smoke, leaves no residue like ash in wood, charcoal, and coal burning. Its heating capacity is high.
