C Correct answer
Explanation

Gobar gas (biogas) primarily contains methane (50-70%) produced by anaerobic digestion of animal dung. Methane is the combustible component that makes biogas useful as fuel. Carbon dioxide is present as a byproduct but is not the main combustible component. Ethane and hydrogen are not significant components of biogas.
