Solution

The correct option is C $C H_{4} + H_{2} + C O$
Coal gas, gaseous mixture—mainly hydrogen ( $H_{2}$ ), methane ( $C H_{4}$ ), and carbon monoxide ( $C O$ ) — formed by the destructive distillation (i.e., heating in the absence of air) of bituminous coal and used as a fuel. Sometimes steam is added to react with the hot coke, thus increasing the yield of gas. Coal tar and coke are obtained as by-products.
