Correct answer: B. Diolefins

  • A. Paraffins
  • B. Diolefins
  • C. Aromatics
  • D. Naphthenes

Explanation

Diolefins contain two double bonds, making them highly reactive toward oxidation and polymerisation, so they form gum readily in gasoline. Paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics generally have lower gum-forming tendencies under comparable conditions.
