Solution

The correct option is B

fuel


Breaking the bonds in the long carbon chains result in the release of a lot of energy. This energy makes the carbon molecule an excellent source of fuel for all living things. Most of the carbon compounds give a lot of heat and light when burnt in air. The carbon compounds, used as a fuel, have high calorific values. Therefore, carbon and its compounds are used as fuels for most applications.
