Primarily, the fossil fuels are composed of :

  • A.Carbon and Nitrogen
  • B.Carbon and Oxygen
  • C.Carbon and Sulphur
  • D.Carbon and Hydrogen

Answer: D

Fossil fuels are composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen.

Coal, petroleum and natural gas are hydrocarbons or carbon-rich materials formed from buried organic matter. Burning them oxidises the carbon to carbon dioxide and the hydrogen to water, releasing energy.

Nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur occur only in smaller amounts as impurities. Sulphur matters for pollution (it forms SO2), but it is not a main constituent.
