The correct answer to the given question is natural gas (option c).
- When fuel is combusted, carbon dioxide is released due to the carbon concentration in their composition.
- If the carbon level is greater, it pollutes the environment.
- The carbon content of coal and oil is extremely high.
- Because natural gas is chemically methane gas, it comprises more hydrogen content and very less carbon content in its makeup.
- As a result, when it burns, it releases the least amount of carbon dioxide per unit of energy.
