Solution

The correct option is C $4 k g$ of fuel will release $1, 00, 000 k J$ energy on combustion.
Calorific value is the amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of $1 k g$ of fuel.

Hence, $1 k g$ of fuel gives $25, 000 k J$ of energy.
$4 k g$ of fuel will give $1, 00, 000 k J$ of energy.
