Solution

The correct option is A B20%
Biodiesel blend is a mixer of methyl or ethyl esters derived from a broad variety of renewable sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and recycled cooking oil. These esters are oxygenated organic compounds that can be used in compression ignition engines. Blend of 20% to 80 % with petroleum diesel significantly reduces carcinogenic emissions and gases that contribute to global warming. It can be used as a 20% blend in most diesel equipment with no or only minor modifications. B20 is the most commonly used biodiesel blend in the United States because it provides a good balance between material compatibility, cold weather operability, performance, emission benefits and costs.
