During the combustion of butane (C₄H₁₀), the primary products are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). Based on the provided reaction:

\[
2C_4H_{10} + 13O_2 \rightarrow 8CO_2 + 10H_2O
\]

The options regarding what else is produced during the combustion of butane include:

A. H₂O
B. C₄H₁₀
C. CO₂
D. O₂

From the reaction, it is clear that both CO₂ and H₂O are produced during combustion. However, among the given options:

- **A. H₂O** is produced (true).
- **B. C₄H₁₀** is the reactant, not produced (false).
- **C. CO₂** is produced (true).
- **D. O₂** is consumed, not produced (false).

Thus, the correct answers for what is produced during the combustion of butane are **A. H₂O** and **C. CO₂**. If you are asked to select just one what else is produced in a particular format, the answer would be **A. H₂O**, as it may be the focus on additional products beyond the primary gas (CO₂).
