The correct Answer is:

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Natural Gas**: Natural gas is defined as a fossil fuel that occurs naturally in the environment. It is primarily composed of various gases. 2. **Main Component**: The primary component of natural gas is methane (CH₄), which constitutes about 70-90% of the mixture. 3. **Other Components**: In addition to methane, natural gas also contains other hydrocarbons, including: - Ethane (C₂H₆) - Propane (C₃H₈) - Butane (C₄H₁₀) 4. **Composition Summary**: Therefore, natural gas is a mixture of: - 70-90% Methane - Ethane - Propane - Butane 5. **Conclusion**: Thus, the correct answer to the question is that natural gas is a mixture of methane, ethane, propane, and butane. ---
