Dear student, 
The temperature at which a substance starts burning or catches fire is called it's ignition temperature. For substance burn the temperature should be greater than or equal to ignition temperature. 
As p and r have ignition temperature 125°C  and 155°C which is less than 250°C.
Therefore p and r will catch fire. 
Option B is correct 
Regards
