Solution

The correct option is B Ignition temperature should be above room temperature.
Ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which a substance catches fire. If the ignition temperature of a fuel is lower than the room temperature, then it can catch fire very easily.
Therefore for an ideal fuel, the ignition temperature should be higher than the room temperature.
