Solution

The correct option is D oxidation
Combustion is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of burning, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Heat must be used initially, oxygen then increases the heat into a small spark or flame, and finally, fuel allows the heat to continue burning.It utilizes oxygen in the process so it is oxidation reaction.
