When the aromatics compound is present in the kerosene fuel smoking tendency increase but the smoke point decrease.

Generally, the more aromatic in the fuel makes the smokier in the flame. A high smoke point indicates a fuel of low smoke-producing tendency.

So, option A is right.

Smoking tendency proportional to aromatic content and smoke point is inversely proportional to aromatic content.

So, when aromatic content increase than, smoking tebdency increase.

A)Smoking tendency increases.

The smoking tendency is bad when aromatic is present which is the low smoke point.
High smoke point= low Smoking tendency= High paraffin = Good.
