If a match were placed in the cone closest to the barrel of the gas burner do you think that would ignite

Most likely not, it requires to be a little bit far away from the cone in order to let the gas be at a safe distance to be lit and not cease the flame.

Explanation:

According to the cone and barrel mechanism, the mat has to be at a fair far distance of around 3 to 5 centimeters in order to have a high change of lit a fire flame. Why? because in that distance the gas is less dense, the pressure is lower and the mix of gases would let the flame to be more reactive. It requires to expand and to create an invisible stable cloud of gas in order to be ready t get lit, the pressure would cease the flame and would require many attempts to lit a flame.

disequilibrium means that either supply is greater than the demand for an available good, or that the demand for a product outstrips the available supply. it implies that the price for a is either too low creating large demand, or too high creating a large surplus of supply.

i believe your answer is d)
