Solution

The correct option is A Glycerin
Usually derived from vegetable oils - soy is very popular these days, but animal fats can also be used - biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification which essentially splits the oil into two parts: alkyl esters and glycerine; the esters are the fuel, while the leftover glycerine is often the byproduct.
