Solution

The correct option is D methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen
Methanogens, growing anaerobically on cellulosic material, produce methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
These microorganisms are generally present in the rumen of the cow. Cows eat hay which is made of cellulose and other polymers, which are long molecules that the animal cannot digest, but methanogens can.
