Answer: B. Carbon dioxide and water

Explanation: Combustion simply refers to burning. A combustion reaction may thus be explained as a chemical process which involves the reaction between a substance and an oxidizer usually oxygen gas. The combustion reaction in most cases involves the reaction between hydrocarbons which are combustible compounds and oxygen gas. The reaction between the combustible compound and oxygen gas is then followed by the release of energy, with the product being carbondioxid and water. Below is an example of combustion reaction.

Combustion the Methane CH4.

Here, CH4 reacts with oxygen gas(O2) to produce carbondioxide and water.

CH4 + 2O2 ------> CO2 + 2H2O
