Solution

The correct option is D fuel

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases chemical or nuclear energy as heat or to be used for work. The heat energy released by reactions of fuels is converted into mechanical energy via a heat engine. Other times the heat itself is valued for warmth, cooking, or industrial processes, as well as the illumination that comes with combustion.
