Question

Statement $I$: Refining of petroleum requires the separation of its components into different fractions.
Statement $II$: The hydrocarbon chains that makeup petroleum have the same basic carbon chain (same number of $C$ in the parent).

• A. Statement $I$ is true and Statement $II$ is false
  
• B. Statement $I$ is false and Statement $II$ is true
  
• C. Statement $I$ and $II$ are false
  
• D. Statement $I$ and $II$ both are true and Statement $II$ is correct explanation of Statement $I$
  
• E. Statement $I$ and $II$ both are true and Statement $II$ is not a correct explanation of Statement $I$
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement $I$ is true and Statement $II$ is false

Refining of petroleum requires the separation of its components into different fractions. The hydrocarbon chains that make up petroleum have the different basic carbon chain (different number of $Cs$ in the parent).
Hence, the statement $I$ is true but statement $II$ is false.
