Solution

The correct option is A Fractional distillation
Fractional distillation is used to separate a mixture of multiple liquids that have different boiling points. Distillation is used to separate one liquid from another liquid as there is a specific boiling point. Since petroleum contains multiple chemicals, we use fractional distillation

Gasoline is one of the major products obtained from crude petroleum oil by its fractional distillation, in an oil refinery.
