Correct Answer

C

Explanation

Kerosene is commonly used to remove the red color stain of palm oil from clothes because it helps to dissolve the oil and spread it over a larger surface area. This process makes it easier to remove the oil from the fabric. Kerosene acts as a solvent, breaking down the palm oil and allowing it to be more effectively washed away. Additionally, the spreading action helps to dilute the oil, reducing its concentration and thus minimizing its color on the fabric. However, it's important to note that using kerosene for stain removal should be done with caution, considering safety and proper ventilation, as kerosene is flammable and can pose health risks if not handled carefully.
