Answer:

A) energy

Step-by-step explanation:

All combustion reactions are exothermic. This means that it releases energy when it happens, and that energy comes from the rupture of bonds between carbon atoms.

Also, carbon-based fuel and oxygen are usually the reactant of the combustion and carbon is always released as an oxide.
