Answer:

The reaction in the diagram is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

In complete combustion, hydrocarbon fuels burn in the presence of high concentration of oxygen that produces carbondioxide gas and water which are releases in the atmosphere. Complete combustion takes place only when there is oxygen present in large amount whereas incomplete combustion occurs when the oxygen in the environment is limited so complete combustion required more oxygen as compared to incomplete combustion.
