Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jet fuel is typically composed of hydrocarbons with carbon chain lengths ranging from 8 to 16 carbon atoms. The range C₁₂ - C₁₈ falls within this range and is commonly used in jet fuel. Hence, option C is the correct choice. Option D may also be technically correct as it includes the range mentioned in option C, but it is broader and not as specific. Options A and B are incorrect as the hydrocarbon ranges mentioned are too small to be used in jet fuel.
