Solution

The correct option is A Coal

Coal catches fire owing to natural heating and the fire spreads out over bigger areas. Fires in coal mines are created from natural burning taking place either underground or on the surface. 75 % of the fires take place due to natural fire.

Alongside with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, coal fires emit water vapor, soot, dust and sulfur dioxide, all of which separate quite quickly but can be a major problem to limited residents depending on how close they are to the fire and what the conditions are like at the time.

Thus, the correct option is B.
