The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a gas that primarily consists of methane and also contains small amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). 2. **Analyzing Options**: - **Coal**: This is a solid fossil fuel and does not exist in gaseous form. Therefore, it cannot be the answer. - **Petroleum**: This is a liquid fossil fuel and also does not qualify as a gas. Hence, it is not the correct answer. - **Natural Gas**: This is a gaseous fossil fuel that is primarily composed of methane (CH₄). It can also contain small amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the gas that mainly contains methane and also has CO₂ and H₂S in small amounts is **Natural Gas**. **Final Answer**: Natural Gas ---
