Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Fractional distillation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Gasoline is formulated as \(\mathrm{C}_8 \mathrm{H}_{18}\) and is present in crude oil along with many other hydrocarbons. As different sections have different boiling points, these are separated by fractional distillation method. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
