During the combustion of propane (C3H8), the primary products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), assuming complete combustion. The chemical equation for the complete combustion of propane is:
\[ \text{C3H8} + 5 \text{O2} \rightarrow 3 \text{CO2} + 4 \text{H2O} \]
In the options provided:
- **H2O** is produced during combustion.
- **C3H8** is the propane itself and is a reactant, not a product.
- **O2** is also a reactant and is consumed during combustion.
- **C3H8O2** is not typically a product of propane combustion under standard conditions.
Therefore, the only product listed from your options that is produced during the complete combustion of propane is **H2O**.
\[ \text{C3H8} + 5 \text{O2} \rightarrow 3 \text{CO2} + 4 \text{H2O} \]
