1. Sugarcane

2. Beetroot

3. Jatropha

Answer:

Option 3. Jatropha

Latex from the Jatropha plant is a source of biodiesel.

Explanation:

• Biodiesel refers to a renewable, eco-friendly alternative to diesel fuel made from animal fats and vegetable oils either edible or non-edible like the Jatropha plant, Pongamia, Karanja, and others.

• Biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oils and fats from animals. Because it is made from animal fat that is mixed with methanol or ethanol, it is a clean fuel and a source of energy that can be used again and again.

• It is a fuel that is good for the environment and doesn't make a lot of waste.

• The common name for the monoecious, perennial lactiferous species Jatropha curcas L. is "physic nut." It is a member of the family Euphorbiaceae.

• Jatropha curcas L. latex has biotechnological potential for biodiesel production.

• The oil from the seeds is used in cooking, as a lighting fuel, as a biopesticide, and in common medicine to treat a variety of ailments. However, the primary economic interest is in using the high oil content of the seeds (less than 35%) to make biodiesel.

• The pH of jatropha latex is equal to that of a supercooled ionic liquid at 3.8.
• Jatropha curcas is a non-edible plant popular because its seeds and latex can be used to make biodiesel.

Thus, option 3. is correct.

• Sugarcane is an edible grass that does not produce any latex, hence option 1. is incorrect.

• Also, beetroot is an edible taproot that does not produce any latex, hence option 2. is incorrect.
