C Correct answer
Explanation

Fractional distillation is the process used to separate crude oil into different components based on their boiling points. It separates petroleum into useful fractions like gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and lubricating oils. Simple distillation separates liquids with widely different boiling points, while fractional distillation is needed for components with closer boiling points.
