Solution

The correct option is C Water gas
Synthesis gas is made by passing steam over a red-hot carbon fuel such as coke, Water gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced from synthesis gas
$H_{2} O + C \to C O + H_{2} (δ H = + 131 K J / m o l)$
Synthesis gas is a useful product, but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
