I don't think Olefin will be the right answer. In NHDT (Naptha Hydrotreater) diolefins are converted to olefins 1st and then olefins are transformed into straight-chain paraffin. It is then going to Isomerisation process. So, there are a lot of olefins in crude and it produces gum also.

We know that alkenes are mostly not present in crude petroleum. And olefin is a type of alkene. So the right answer is A, not B.

Mercaptan is correct as olefin which seems to be the correct answer is absent and not almost absent.

Mercaptans which have on average 1-3% wt fraction of petroleum.

From the given option, Mercaptan is the right answer.
