AMethane ✓ Correct

BButane

CEthane

DPropane

Correct answer: (A) Methane

Explanation

The main constituent of compressed natural gas is methane.

Butane is a major part of LPG, not of CNG.

Ethane occurs only in small amounts in natural gas.

Propane too is a minor component, not the main one.

Being mostly methane, CNG burns cleanly with little particulate output.

It is stored at high pressure to pack enough fuel into a vehicle tank.
