B Correct answer
Explanation

Gasoline is obtained from crude oil through fractional distillation, which separates petroleum products based on their boiling points. Different fractions condense at different temperatures, producing gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other products. Simple distillation doesn't separate effectively enough for complex mixtures like crude oil.
