Methanogenesis is the biological production of methane mediated by anaerobic microorganisms from the Archaea domain commonly called methanogens. The production of methane is the energy‐yielding metabolism of methanogens and is unique to these organisms...

It's methane

methane is the correct answer because all alkanes can be generated from aerobic actions on organic matter

My school, please the option is C because even in both action ( aerobic and anaerobic ),carbon IV oxide is always produced.

The answer is "methane". Methane (CH4) is the main component of natural gas, and it's produced when organic matter is buried in the earth and broken down by bacteria in the absence of oxygen. This process is called "anaerobic digestion". The other products of this process are carbon dioxide and water. 🌋
