Solution

The correct option is B Marsh gas
Methane is also called marsh gas because it is produced by the anaerobic bacterial decomposition of vegetable matter under water or in a marshy area. The decomposition of sludge by anaerobic bacteria in sewage-treatment processes also produces a gas rich in methane.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
