Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

Rapeseed oil, a vegetable oil, is indeed used as a base for producing lubricants, including those for internal combustion engines. It is often used as part of bio-based lubricants due to its renewable nature and good lubricating properties. These lubricants can be more environmentally friendly compared to petroleum-based oils.
