Solution

The correct option is D

Compressed Natural Gas


There is probably no fuel that could be considered as an ideal fuel. We should look for a fuel which fulfils most of the requirements for a particular use. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) contains methane which doesn't produce a large amount of toxic gases or residue that pollute the environment. It is also easily combustible. Of the given options it is closest to being an ideal fuel.
