The correct Answer is:
To determine the substance with a low ignition temperature, we need to analyze the options provided in the question. Let's break down the solution step by step: ### Step 1: Understand Ignition Temperature - **Definition**: Ignition temperature is the minimum temperature at which a substance starts to burn in the presence of air. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options 1. **Combustible**: - **Definition**: A combustible substance is one that can burn in air and produce heat and light. - **Analysis**: Combustible substances can have varying ignition temperatures; they are not necessarily low. Therefore, this option is not correct. 2. **Inflammable**: - **Definition**: Inflammable substances are those that catch fire easily and have a low ignition temperature. - **Analysis**: This option fits the criteria of having a low ignition temperature. Examples include petrol and alcohol. Therefore, this option is correct. 3. **Non-combustible**: - **Definition**: Non-combustible substances do not burn in the presence of air. - **Analysis**: Since these substances do not burn, we cannot assign a low ignition temperature to them. Their ignition temperature is very high. Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Based on the analysis, the substance with a low ignition temperature is **Inflammable**. ### Final Answer - The correct answer is **Inflammable**. ---
