The Big Inch pipeline transports which among the following?

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (d) Petroleum
Explanation:
· The Big Inch pipeline was built during World War II in the United States to transport petroleum and its products over long distances.
· This pipeline was crucial for ensuring a steady supply of oil to industries and military operations, especially during the war when maritime transportation was at risk due to enemy attacks.
Other Options:
· Water: Pipelines exist to transport water, but the Big Inch is specifically for petroleum, not water.
· Sugar syrup: Sugar syrup transportation is typically limited to food processing industries and uses specialized methods, not the Big Inch pipeline.
· Edible oil: Edible oils are transported in smaller pipelines or tankers and are not associated with the Big Inch pipeline.
