AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Oxidation. Oxidation is the process where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat. This heat can build up and cause spontaneous ignition if the conditions are right. The other options - anaerobic decomposition, aeration, and putrefaction - do not necessarily produce enough heat on their own to result in spontaneous ignition.
