Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• CNG is also known as compressed natural gas, which is mainly obtained from coal wells, oil wells, and methane wells by compressing them under high pressure, and when they burn it does not produce smoke.
• Compressed natural gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless gas having non-toxic and non-corrosive properties.
• CNG is mostly used in automobiles as a substitute for the toxic gasoline.
• The main component present in compressed natural gas is methane, which is a very safe gas to handle, due to the reason that it scatters easily into the air.
