The correct option is C) Methane.

Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide.

The typical composition of biogas is about 50-75% methane (CH4) and 25-50% carbon dioxide (CO2), with traces of other gases like hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Methane is the primary combustible component that gives biogas its fuel value.
