Gasoline answer is right due to gasoline specific gravity .75 to .85 Kg/l.
So,
°API = (141.5/SPGR)- 131.5.
Very low SPGR of gasoline there also option.

Gasoline is lightest among the options, so API of gasoline is highest As the paraffin content is high in gasoline, its specific gravity is low and it has the max API.

Right answer is gasolene because lighter product API gravity will be maximum and heavier pdt API gravity will be minimum.

Gasoline is correct because lighter products have high API.

Absolutely right, because heavier API gravity indicate a lower crude oil.
