Solution

The correct option is B Air
Air is an important element in burning. It is the oxygen in the air which helps in burning. Therefore, to burn fuels, the presence of air is very necessary.
Water is not required in burning because it extinguishes fire. Wood and paper also require air to burn and liberate energy.
