Solution

The correct option is D absence of air
Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed million years ago along with petroleum by the dead microscopic plants and animals which got buried under the sand and mud. These plants and animals undergo anaerobic fermentation (a chemical process in the absence of air) under high temperatures and pressures and get converted into natural gas and petroleum.
