Solution

The correct option is C Petroleum
Petroleum also known as crude oil is found deep under the earth’s surface. It is formed when dead sea organisms undergo decomposition at high temperature and pressure.
It is a naturally occurring thick liquid which can be refined by fractional distillation. Petrol, diesel and kerosene are components obtained due to distillation of petroleum.
