Solution

The correct option is C

LPG


Explanation for correct option:

Petroleum gas in its liquid state i.e. liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is used as a fuel for cooking at home.

Explanation for incorrect option:

While kerosene is majorly used in oil lamps, jet fuels, etc.

Wood and Cow-dung cakes are also used as cooking fuels in a domestic hearth called chulhas, but these fuels produce a huge amount of smoke and are not very energy efficient.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.
