Solution

The ignition temperature of fuel 'A' is near room temperature, so it can be dangerous to store at home because it can burn in presence of air.
The ignition temperature of fuel 'B' is above room temperature, so it can be stored at home because it will not burn in presence of air.
As a result, fuel 'B' is a safer fuel to store at home.
