Solution

The correct option is B False

Kerosene:

  1. The term "fossil fuel" refers to a hydrocarbon-containing substance that is naturally generated in the earth's crust from the remains of dead plants and animals and is extracted and burned as fuel. Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.
  2. Kerosene is a highly flammable hydrocarbon liquid made from petroleum. It is also referred to as paraffin.
  3. It is made through a long series of chemical reactions and numerous chemical procedures, such as drilling and distillation.
  4. It is mostly extracted by refining petroleum and can be obtained from coal, wood, or oil shale.
  5. Kerosene is, therefore, definitely a fossil fuel. Because fossil fuels such as oil shale, coal, and petroleum are used.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
