Answer 1

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation where we use some basic elements like:

• Reactants are kept on the left hand side.
• Products are kept on the right hand side.
• They are divided by a arrow which hear towards the products.

This shows that reactants are forming or giving rise to different products in the reaction.

Back to the Question:

Here a chemical reaction is taking olace, where methane is being burnt in the presence of oxygen to form the products Carbon dioxide, water and energy.

• Methane + Oxygen ➝ Carbon dioxide + water + energy.

So, the arrow head is towards the CO2, H2O and energy, so they are products according to the above explanation.

Correct option is:

`\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \purple{Option \: C}}}}`

And we are done !!
