    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Octane rating or octane number is a standard measure of the performance of a motor or aviation fuel. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand. Isooctane (upper) has an octane rating of 100 whereas n-heptane has an octane rating of 0.
