Solution

The correct options are
A Number of carbon atoms
C Structure of carbon chain
Fuels like petrol, diesel, kerosene are nothing but hydrocarbons with long chains of carbon. The number of carbon atoms in the carbon chain and the structure of these chains are the two important factors that influence the properties of these fuels.
