Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A

Explanation:

Gasoline is the lightest and most volatile liquid fuel among the given options.

• This is because gasoline has the lowest flash point among the given options.
• The minimum temperature at which a fuel catches flame is called its flash point.
• Gasoline has a flash point of -23°C which is way lower than many other fuels.
• Gasoline is manufactured from petroleum liquids and crude oil.
• It is a highly volatile and flammable liquid.
• while other fuels:

1. kerosene has a flash point of 36° which is more than gasoline making it less volatile than it.
2. The same goes with fuel oil it is also less volatile than gasoline.
