Solution

The correct option is D Oil
Fracking is a term used for hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas. A high-pressure fluid with water, sand, and thickening agents is injected from a well, leading to the formation of fractures in the rock-bed. The fractures are held by sand. Oil or grain move out from these fractures into a well for production.
