The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Candle Flame Zones**: A candle flame consists of different zones, each with distinct characteristics. The main zones are the luminous zone, non-luminous zone, and dark zone. 2. **Identifying the Luminous Zone**: The luminous zone is the middle part of the candle flame. This zone is known for producing yellow light. 3. **Combustion Type**: In the luminous zone, combustion is incomplete due to a limited supply of oxygen. This incomplete combustion results in the production of soot and the characteristic yellow light. 4. **Analyzing Other Zones**: - The non-luminous zone, which is the outermost zone, burns with a blue flame due to complete combustion, where there is an excess of oxygen. - The dark zone, also known as the invisible zone, does not produce light and appears black. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the characteristics of the zones, the zone that produces yellow light in a candle flame is the luminous zone. **Final Answer**: The zone that produces yellow light in the candle flame is the **luminous zone**. ---
