Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option 1: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

Explanation:
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is widely used in vehicles today as an environmentally friendly fuel. It is primarily composed of methane(CH4)(CH_4). CNG emits significantly fewer harmful gases than petrol and diesel, thus reducing air pollution.

Additional Facts:
Methane: The main component of CNG is methane, accounting for approximately 80% to 90%.
LPG: Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), primarily used as a cooking fuel, is a mixture of propane and butane.
Safety: CNG is lighter than air, so it dissipates quickly if leaked, reducing the risk of fire.
