Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Earth_Environment/EnvironmentOntology)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'combustion process'?

A. A process during which a material entity undergoes a rapid increase in volume, releasing gasses and various forms of energy, often including thermal, light and sound energy.
B. Combustion or burning is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
C. A thermolysis process in which organic material is decomposed in the absence of oxygen.
D. A the concept is a process whereby rapid and exothermic oxidation of a material through a combustion process releases heat, light, and other products.

Answer: Combustion or burning is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
