15. Why are hydrocarbons useful in our everyday lives?
A. Because they make up water, and water composes most of the living things here on Earth.
B. Because they are considered to be a primary energy source for current civilization due to its combustibility
as a fuel source.
C. Because since they are highly reactive, they can be easily converted to a more useful compound such as
alcohol, ingredients in soaps and even disinfectants.
D. Hydrocarbons are not useful at all since their combustibility often leads to fire and climate change.
