The answer is: Complete combustion

Explanation:

The combustion reaction is based on the exothermic chemical reaction of a substance or mixture of substances called fuel with oxygen. They are reactions that occur very quickly and with heat evolution (in other words, it is a type of exothermic chemical reaction).

A complete combustion occurs when the entire reaction occurs. That is to say that in this way the oxygen has been at least enough to complete the reaction, being able to find in excess. In this type of combustion the products are CO₂ and H₂O.
