Answer 1

When natural gas (primarily methane, CH₄) burns in the presence of oxygen, the most likely products of this combustion reaction are:

- **carbon dioxide (CO₂)**
- **water (H₂O)**

So, the correct selections from your options are:

- carbon dioxide
- water

The other options, oxygen and natural gas, are not products of the combustion reaction. Instead, oxygen is a reactant, and natural gas is the fuel being burned.
