Solution

The correct option is A carbon dioxide, water
Methane $(C H_{4})$ , a hydrocarbon, on complete combustion, reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to produce carbon dioxide $(C O_{2})$ and water. During this reaction, a lot of heat is released.

${CH}_{4} (g) + 2 O_{2} (g) Δ \to {CO}_{2} (g) + 2 H_{2} O (aq) + Heat Methane Oxygen Carbon Water dioxide$
