Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Methane
Explanation
Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of animal and plant waste by microbes.
Its main constituent is Methane (CH4), making up about 50–70%, followed by carbon dioxide.
The methane makes biogas inflammable and usable as fuel; propane, butane and ethane are not its major components.
