A piece of paper wrapped around an aluminium pipe does not catch fire easily.
Which of the given reasons supports the above information?
Both aluminium and paper are combustible substances. When heat is supplied to the paper, it is transferred to the aluminium pipe by conduction. In the presence of aluminium, the ignition temperature of paper is not achieved. Therefore, it does not catch fire easily. It is important to note that attaining the ignition temperature is a prerequisite for combustion to take place.
The correct answer is option 'd'.
