Solution

The correct option is B
CNG

The use of diesel and petrol as fuels in automobiles is being replaced by CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) because the harmful emissions produced by burning CNG is very small as compared to other fuels. CNG is a cleaner fuel. It also has a higher calorific value which makes it a perfect alternative.
