Solution

The correct option is A Petroleum refineries

A petroleum refinery is a place where crude oil dug out from earth is processed and refined to produce final useful products like petrol, diesel, heating oil, kerosene and LPG etc.

Petrochemical industries are located close to refineries because transportation of petroleum and its products are always dangerous hence the distance is always kept minimised.
