The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "_________ in its natural form is a very waxy and thick liquid, which is of no real use," we need to identify the substance that fits this description. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question is asking for a substance that is naturally occurring, has a waxy and thick consistency, and is not useful in its raw form. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Petrol - B) Crude Oil - C) Diesel - D) Paraffin 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Petrol**: This is derived from petroleum and is not found in a natural form. It is produced through the refining process of crude oil. - **Crude Oil**: This is a natural substance that is thick and viscous. In its raw form, it is considered impure and not directly usable without refining. - **Diesel**: Similar to petrol, diesel is a refined product of crude oil and thus not found in a natural state. - **Paraffin**: This is also a refined product derived from petroleum and not found in its natural form. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Among the options, crude oil is the only substance that is naturally occurring, thick, waxy, and not useful in its raw form. It requires refining to be converted into usable products. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **Crude Oil**.
