Solution

The correct options are
A $C O_{2} + H_{2} O$
B $C O + H_{2} O$
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel gives $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ whereas incomplete combustion results in the formation of CO, $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ .
Incomplete combustion occurs when the supply of air or oxygen is poor. Water is still produced, but carbon monoxide and carbon are also produced in a large amount along with carbon dioxide. The carbon is released as soot.
