✓ Answer: C Methane
Methane is also called Marsh Gas. Methane is a hydrocarbon gas composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms (CH4). The nickname 'Marsh Gas' is due to its association with the production of methane in wetlands, marshes, and swamps as a result of bacterial decomposition of organic matter in anaerobic conditions.
