Solution

The correct option is D ethyl mercaptan
LPG gas is basically propane and butane, and it is odourless in its natural state. The smell that you notice when there is a leak is actually the stench of an entirely different agent, called Ethyl Mercaptan (C2H6S). This substance is added to the gas when it leaves the main storage terminals.
