What is combustion?

Combustion is a chemical process or a reaction between Fuel (Hydrocarbon) and Oxygen.

During incomplete combustion part of the carbon is not completely oxidized producing carbon monoxide (CO). Incomplete combustion uses fuel inefficiently and carbon monoxide is released.

Carbon monoxide gas diffuses rapidly across the pulmonary capillary membrane, binding to haemoglobin with an affinity 200 times that of oxygen to form carboxyhemoglobin. By displacing oxygen, CO decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity and oxygen delivery to tissues, causing marked cellular hypoxia and acidosis.

Hence, option A is correct.
