Solution

The correct option is B X - $C H_{4}$ , Y = incomplete combustion
Carbon monoxide is basically formed when an object is burned. Methane, which is a natural gas produces CO after oxidation. Methane, produces less CO as compared to other units of gas. Incomplete combusion results in creation of poisonous CO. It occurs when supply of oxygen is poor.
