hydrogen

This isn't a very good question because it has a LOT of different answers that can all be correct. The answer your teacher wants is probably hydrogen, but any flammable gas will explode if mixed with oxygen in sufficient concentration and exposed to a spark. So...I think I would put down propane. There are a lot of really fun chemicals you could list - carbon monoxide, diborane, hydrogen cyanide, methane - but propane is very common and it will do exactly what the question stipulates.
