Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Comptessed natural gas (CNG), is made by compressing natural gas (which is mainly compsed of methane, `CH_(4)`). It is a better fuedl tan petrol or diesel as its combustion produces fewer undesirable gases that petrol or diesel. The cost and placement of fuel storage tanks is the major barrier to wider adoption of CNG as a fuel. CNG vehicles require a great amount of space for fuel storage than conventional gasoline powered vehicles. Laying down pipelines to deliver CNG through distribution points/pumps is another difficulty faced in switching over to CNG as an automobile fuel.
