Solution

The correct option is A Carbon Monoxide
Incomplete combustion results in the formation of carbon monoxide. Incomplete combustion is a type of combustion in which the combustible substances react partially with oxygen. This reaction occurs when the supply of oxygen is insufficient and the amount of energy released is less.
Hydrocarbons + oxygen (limited/insufficient) $\to$ carbon monoxide + soot
