The correct option is C
H₂O

This is one of the examples of combustion of alkanes.

Alkanes readily burn in excess of air or oxyge to give $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$

i. $C H_{4} + 2 O_{2} \to C O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$

ii. $C_{3} H_{8} + 5 O_{2} \to 3 C O_{2} + 4 H_{2} O$

iii. $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2} + (\frac{3 n + 1}{2}) O_{2} △ \to n C O_{2} + (n + 1) H_{2} O + H e a t$
