Solution

The correct option is D Hydrogen
Hydrogen gas puts off a burning matchstick with a pop sound. The pop sound comes from the small explosion formed by the burning of hydrogen with oxygen.
Carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulphide will not burn with oxygen, so will not give a pop sound.
