Answer:

A. carbon dioxide and water

Step-by-step explanation:

Fossil fuels are rich in hydrocarbons as they are formed by the natural decomposition of dead organisms under extremes of high temperature and pressure.

In a combustion reaction hydrocarbon burns in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Burning of fossil fuel creates pollution. The cleanest burning fossil fuel is natural gas.
