70% to pass

Which of the following is an example of a example of a grade D product?

A kerosene
B commercial gasoline
C aviation gas grade 115/145
D heavy fuel oil
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) kerosene. Kerosene is considered a grade D product, which refers to the lower-grade fuel products regulated by the US Coast Guard for commercial vessel operations. Grade D products have a lower flash point and are less refined compared to higher-grade fuels like commercial gasoline (B) or aviation gasoline (C). Heavy fuel oil (D) is also a lower-grade product, but it is typically classified as a grade E fuel. Therefore, kerosene is the only option listed that represents a grade D product.
