Correct answer: B. Fuel oil
- A. High cetane diesel
- B. Fuel oil
- C. High octane gasoline
- D. Smoke free kerosene
Explanation
Visbreaking mildly thermally cracks heavy residual fractions, lowering their viscosity and producing a more usable fuel oil. It is not primarily a process for making gasoline or diesel with improved cetane.
