Which of the following fractions of a crude oil will have the maximum gravity API (i.e. °API) ?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
In petroleum refinery engineering, gasoline fraction of a crude oil will have the maximum gravity API (°API).

The gravity API (°API) is a measure of the density of petroleum liquids compared to water. Higher API gravity values indicate lighter and less dense liquids. Gasoline is typically one of the lightest fractions obtained from crude oil refining processes, and therefore, it tends to have the highest API gravity among the options provided.

Therefore, the correct option is Option B: Gasoline.
