Solution

The correct option is A Liquid hydrocarbon
Process where coal is converted into liquid hydrocarbon is called as coal liquefaction. In this process, dry coal is mixed with heavy oil recycled from the process. Catalyst is typically added to the mixture. The reaction occurs at between 400 °C (752 °F) to 500 °C (932 °F) and 20 to 70 MPa hydrogen pressure.
