Solution

The correct option is D Glycerine.
Glycerine, also known as glycerol, is a thick, transparent and non-toxic liquid that is commonly used in making transparent soaps.
Glycerine is a natural by-product of the saponification process. When oil reacts with alkaline, it forms soap and glycerol.
