Solution

The correct option is B Glycerin
Biodiesel is a type of fuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is biodegradable and produces fewer air pollutants than petroleum-based diesel. Glycerin is a major byproduct in the process of biodiesel manufacturing. This crude glycerine can be refined into a pure form and then be used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Thus the correct answer is option B.
