Question

Major source of liquid hydrocarbon is ................

• A. Calotropis gigantea
• B. Cocos nucifera
• C. Euphorbia antisyphilitica
• D. Solanum tuberosum

Answer 1

The correct option is C Euphorbia antisyphilitica

The hydrocarbons from Euphorbia are primarily a blend of C-15, C-20 or C-30 compounds, when subjected to catalytic cracking biocrude yields various products virtually identical to those obtained by cracking naphtha a high quality petroleum fraction i.e., one of the principal raw material used in chemical industries. Latex remains in special cells and/ or vessels called laticifers and are a byproduct of photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into biochemical energy

So, the correct answer is 'Euphorbia antisyphilitica'
