Answer:

Either a. or b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Silica glass can be made into lenses, and It has high melting temperatures.

Gasoline by itself isn't hot at all though, and niether is wood. However, If you light gasoline on fire, the substance gets very hot near the point of explosion if large quantities of it are in the same space. Hope this helps you, sorry if I'm wrong.
