Solution

The correct option is A Combustion in insufficient supply of air
Incomplete combustion takes place when there is not enough oxygen to allow the fuel to react completely and burn in order to produce carbon dioxide and water. For example, the yellow flame of a burning candle is due to the presence of unburnt carbon particles that are hot and emit a yellow light.
