Solution

The correct option is A conc. sulphuric acid
Concentrated sulphuric acid is a very good dehydrating agent. When it comes in contact with the paper, it reacts with the paper and removes the water content from the paper. As a result, color of the paper changes to black and it appears to be burnt.
