Which of the following petroleum product is used for dry cleaning?

Step-by-step solution
Kerosene, also known as paraffin, has historically been used as a solvent in dry cleaning due to its ability to dissolve oils and greases without damaging fabrics. Other options: Grease is a lubricant, not a cleaning solvent; Diesel is a fuel for engines; Petrol (gasoline) is too volatile and flammable for dry cleaning. Thus, kerosene is the correct choice.
