AGasoline
BDiesel fuel
CCarbon particles
DFuel oil
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Carbon particles. A centrifuge is an effective way to remove carbon particles from lube oil. Carbon particles can build up in lube oil over time and need to be removed to maintain the oil's lubricating properties. In contrast, a centrifuge would not be as effective at removing gasoline, diesel fuel, or fuel oil, which are lighter and more liquid substances that require different separation methods.
