    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      LPG undergoes rapid combustion. When a burning matchstick is taken near the gas stove containing LPG, the gas catches fire easily. The gas burns rapidly producing heat and light. Phosphorus bursts into flames when kept in air at room temperature. It is an example of spontaneous combustion in which the material suddenly bursts into flames without any external ignition. Dynamite when ignited explodes with the evolution of heat, light, and sound. Large amount of gas is also liberated in the process. The correct answer is A.
