D Correct answer
Explanation

Methane is the primary component of natural gas, typically constituting 70-90% of its composition. Natural gas is formed from the decomposition of organic matter under high pressure and temperature conditions deep underground. While natural gas contains small amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and other hydrocarbons, methane remains the dominant and most significant component by volume.
