Combustion involves many different reactants and produces many different products. There are endless numbers of things that can burn, and endless types of chemicals released when these things burn.
Added:
Generally, and what you will see in an academic setting, this;
A hydrocarbon, or a carbohydrate with oxygen gas as the reactants.
The products are always carbon dioxide and water.
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
An example of a common combustion reaction.
In a combustion reaction between butane and oxygen, the products contain more energy than the reactants. This is because energy is released in the form of heat during the combustion process, increasing the total energy content of the products. The catalyst does not contribute to the overall energy content of the reaction.
water water is definitely not the right answer! i got it wrong when i chose that
One of the reactants in a combustion reaction is typically oxygen.
Hydrocarbon and fuel
At equilibrium, the formation of products from reactants will be faster.
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
The burning of fossil fuels are a combustion reaction. The reaction for the combustion has the reactants of propane (C3H8) and oxygen (O2). The combustion reactions products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

yes they have more energy

The Mass of Products equals the Mass of the Reactants. "Nothing is created or destroyed - The Law of Conservation of Energy - Many reactions like fires (combustion) gases escape and thus the reactants appear to lose Mass. However, if all gases are collected and weighed the Mass of the Products will equal the mass of the Reactants
reactants: isooctane & oxygen products: carbon dioxide & water
If the products of a reaction are CO2 and 2H2O, it suggests that the reactants likely include a hydrocarbon (such as a carbohydrate, alkane, or alcohol) and oxygen (O2). This type of reaction is indicative of a combustion reaction, where the hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The complete combustion of organic compounds typically results in these products, assuming sufficient oxygen is present.

Yes, atoms that are not present in the reactants can end up in the products of a chemical reaction if they are introduced during the reaction. This can occur through several means, such as the use of catalysts, the presence of solvent molecules, or the incorporation of additional reactants. For example, in combustion reactions, oxygen from the air is added to the reactants, resulting in products that contain atoms not originally present in the starting materials. Thus, the final composition of the products can include atoms from outside the initial reactants.
The reactants (gasoline vapors) are more dangerous in a gasoline fire, as they are highly flammable and can ignite easily. The products of combustion (carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide) are a byproduct of the burning process and are less hazardous in terms of fire risk.
