35 = d
36 = a
When a hydrocarbon is reacted with O2 gas, you have combustion. The products will be carbon dioxide and water.
(The question isn't asking about this, but for completeness, I'll mention that this is more precisely referred to as "complete combustion". Incomplete combustion would result in CO and H2O. Not to worry though, because this isn't one of your answers and isn't what the question is looking for.)

If there's oxygen in the products, then it's a combustion. And combustion reactions will always yield carbon dioxide and water.
