Answer:
Fuel Y.
Explanation:
(1)Since according to the question the ignition temperature of Y is high so its heating effect is low and it takes time to achieve the activation energy.So,as per safety it is good fuel.
(2)Since on burning X produce carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas for living organism.
So, fuel Y is good for nature as well as for safety purpose.
