Solution

The correct option is A Carbon monoxide ( $CO$ )
A complete combustion of fuels results in the formation of carbon dioxide ( ${CO}_{2}$ ) whereas, the formation of carbon monoxide ( $CO$ ) takes place due to their incomplete combustion. The insufficient amount of air (oxygen) leads to incomplete combustion.
