Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Pipeline transportation is one of the modes of transport that involves the use of hollow pipes in the transportation of water, crude oil, (petroleum), bio-fuels, and gas. This mode of transportation is safer and cheaper than using tankers or trailers in the transportation of these liquids
The major disadvantage with this mode of transportation is that it is not flexible, i.e., it can be used only for a few fixed points.
