Solution

The correct option is D a solvent for extraction of organic compounds from natural resources

Supercritical carbon dioxide is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at or above its critical temperature and critical pressure. The application of supercritical $C O_{2}$ in the food industry is widely developed for extraction of organics. So, supercritical carbon dioxide is used as a solvent for extraction of organic compounds from natural resources.
Hence option $C$ is correct.
