Statement C is correct: Oxygen (or an oxidizer like Liquid Oxygen, LOX) is essential for burning fuel in rocket engines through combustion. Statement D is correct: Nitrogen is an inert gas used in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for food to displace oxygen, preventing oxidation and inhibiting the growth of aerobic bacteria, thus extending shelf life.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which one among the following statements for the gases mentioned below is not correct ?
