Solution
The correct option is D carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is produced
from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds; it forms when there
is not enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, such as when operating a stove
or an internal combustion engine in an enclosed space. In the presence of
oxygen, including atmospheric concentrations, carbon monoxide burns with a blue
flame, producing carbon dioxide.
