Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{4}, H_{2}, C O$
Coal gas, gaseous mixture—mainly hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide—formed by the destructive distillation of bituminous coal and used as a fuel.

Sometimes steam is added to react with the hot coke, thus increasing the yield of gas. Coal Tar and coke are obtained as by-products.

Option C is correct.
