The answer is wrong. There are 4 classifications of crude oil.
1. Sweet 2. Sour 3. Light 4. Heavy
A crude oil is said to be sweet if it has low sulphur content. Sulfur is undesirable in crude oil. It is also said to be sour when the sulphur content is high.
Then it is light when it can flow easily .making option B the correct option.
The correct answer is High natural gas content.

Most crude oil blends obtained from Nigeria are classified as light-sweet crude oil blends due to low level of sulphur content and also because they are predominantly light oil grade. .
