Bitumen is obtained from

AForests and plants

BKerosene oil

CCrude oil ✓ Correct

DUnderground mines

Correct answer: (C) Crude oil

Explanation

Bitumen is obtained from crude oil as a heavy residue of petroleum refining.

Forests and plants yield biomass, not bitumen.

Kerosene is itself a refined product, not the source of bitumen.

Underground mines yield coal and ores, not this petroleum residue.

Bitumen is the thick, tarry material left after lighter fractions are distilled off.

It is widely used to surface roads and to waterproof.
