Answer 2

Option B: petrochemicals

• Inorganic chemicals are chemicals that lack the presence of carbon-hydrogen bonds.

• The carbon-hydrogen bonds are replaced by other elements like sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

• In the case of petrochemicals, they are composed of hydrocarbons.

• Hydrocarbons are molecules that are completely filled with carbon-hydrogen bonds.

• In the case of other options like nitric acids and alkalies (OH), they are composed of elements that are not carbon.
