The answer is B.breaking particles into smaller chains.

Explanation:

  • Gasoline comprises of hydrocarbons with somewhere in the range of four and twenty carbon iotas (4-20 C particles) and engine oil comprises of hydrocarbons with somewhere in the range of 18 and 34 carbon particles for each particle.
  • So gas has smaller chains than engine oil. Gasoline is a combination of various hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffin), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).
  • Most engine oils are produced using heavier, thicker petrol hydrocarbons.
  • In all likelihood he would explore breaking atoms into smaller chains since fuel contains natural substances that has more modest chains.
