The correct options are
B
grey coloured with rotten egg like smell

D
grey coloured but odourless

Natural gas in its purest form is colourless and odourless. During the processing of natural gas, an adulterant called ethyl mercaptan is added which imparts a distinct smell so that a leakage can be easily identified. It is used as a fuel in industries for power generation and homes for cooking.
