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.
