Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Petroleum is a mixture of a very large number of different hydrocarbons; the most commonly found molecules are alkanes (kinds of paraffin), cycloalkanes (naphthenes), aromatic hydrocarbons, or more complicated chemicals like asphaltenes. Each petroleum variety has a unique mix of molecules, which define its physical and chemical properties, like colour and viscosity.
