Solution

The correct option is D nitrogen and argon
Incandescent light bulbs are filled with an inert gas like nitrogen, argon, or krypton - so that the filament doesn't catch fire. Early ones were a vacuum. Flourecent lamps are filled with an inert gas plus mercury vapour or neon, which glows ultra-violet when charged. The inside of the bulb is painted to give it colour.
