Solution
The correct option is D coal gas The process by which organic substances such as wood, coal, and oil shale are broken down by heat in the absence of air is called as dry distillation. This causes them to break down into solids, liquids, and gases, which are then used to make products such as coke, charcoal, oils, and ammonia.
