Solution

The correct option is D Coke
Petroleum consists of different hydrocarbon molecules, which can be separated through the process of refining. It is refined by fractional distillation to obtain various useful products.

Major products obtained are gasoline (also known as petrol), kerosene, diesel, lubricating oils, fuel oil and paraffin wax.

Coke is not a product obtained from petroleum. It is obtained by the destructive distillation of coal (heating coal in the absence of air).
