B. Natural gas
Explanation:
Hydrogen production from natural gas or other hydrocarbons is achieved by partial oxidation. A fuel-air or fuel-oxygen mixture is partially combusted resulting in a hydrogen rich syngas. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide are obtained via the water-gas shift reaction.
Natural gas deposits are often found near oil deposits because deposits of natural gas are close to the Earth’s surface and are usually dwarfed by nearby oil deposits.
Option B is the answer.
