Solution

The correct options are
A Odourless
B Colourless
C Non-toxic
Methane $(C H_{4})$ is a hydrocarbon that exists as an odourless and colourless gas at room temperature, under normal pressure conditions. Although it is a greenhouse gase and can cause global warming, it is relatively non-toxic to human beings, when inhaled. It gives a blue flame on combustion.
