Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{4}$
Natural gas consists of a high percentage of methane (generally above 85 percent) and varying amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and inert gases (typically nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and helium). So, $C H_{4}$ contributes the maximum to the heating value of natural gas.
