Solution

The correct option is D eight
The reaction in which hydrocarbons combine with oxygen $(O_{2})$ to form carbon dioxide $(C O_{2})$ and water $(H_{2} O)$ along with heat and light is called combustion.

The reaction below shows the combustion of butane $(C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3})$ .

$2 {CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{3} (g) + 13 O_{2} (g) \to 8 {CO}_{2} (g) + 10 H_{2} O (l)$
The number of molecules of $C O_{2}$ produced when two molecules of butane undergoes a combustion reaction is eight.
