The answer for the following question is explained below.
The option for the following answer is "d".
Explanation:
The phlogiston theory of combustion:(Greek word phlogiston means <u><em>"BURN"</em></u>)
Phlogiston theory states that phlogisticated substances are the substances that contain phlogiston and dephlogisticate when burned.
Dephlogisticating is the process of releasing stored phlogiston,which is absorbed by the air.
Growing plants then absorb this phlogiston,which is why air does not spontaneously combust and also plant matte burns as well as it does.
The prevailing theory was that flammable materials contained a substance called phlogiston that was released during the combustion.
For example:
- phlogiston was transferring into the surrounding air.

B. Lower elements have more energy levels
Explanation:
Ionization energy decreases down the group because lower elements have more energy levels. Therefore, the pull of the nucleus on the outermost shell electrons is not so great.
- Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
- It is a measure of the readiness of an atom to lose an electron.
- Down a group or family, atomic radius increases due to addition of more electronic shells or energy levels.
- As the atomic radius becomes larger, the ionization energy reduces.
- This is because of the increased shielding/screening effect of inner shell electrons on the electron to be removed from the nuclear attraction.
- This way, its takes a lesser amount of energy to remove them as shielding effects increases down the group.
