Correct Answer :
B and C
Solution :
The correct option is B and C.

A flame is produced during burning (combustion) only when the substance vapourises while burning.
Let's analyze the given substances based on their tendency to vapourise on burning:
1. Substance A: Does not vapourise on burning ("No"). Therefore, it will not give a flame.
2. Substance B: Vapourises on burning ("Yes"). Therefore, it will give a flame.
3. Substance C: Vapourises on burning ("Yes"). Therefore, it will give a flame.
4. Substance D: Does not vapourise on burning ("No"). Therefore, it will not give a flame.
Thus, the substances that give a flame on burning are B and C.
