Answer : The correct option is, (B) 2, 3 and 6.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction where a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

In general,


Hydrocarbon+O_2\rightarrow H_2O+CO_2

For example : Ethane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.


C_2H_8+4O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+4H_2O

In the given list,
O_2 is a reactant and
CO_2,H_2O are the products.

Therefore, the correct answer is, (B) 2, 3, and 6
