Combustion requires a fuel and oxygen, so oxygen is definitely one of your required elements. Combustible fuels usually contain carbon and hydrogen and maybe oxygen too, so all those three.

What is needed for combustion to take place?

A combustion reaction takes place when a fuel and an oxidant react, producing heat or heat and light. The most recognizable form of combustion reaction is flame, with explosions being an even faster form of combustion reaction. A combustion can happen at a wide range of speeds, and can occur in many different environments, but the majority of combustions we know and recognize happen in a fairly limited spectrum.
