Which of these is an example of something a civil engineer would deal with? A. A gauge that reads the strength of an earthquake
B. The new hybrid cars that are more environmentally friendly and
reduce oil consumption
C. The design of the Discovery space shuttle
D. The rebuilding and redesign of the dam in Louisiana after
Hurricane Katrina

it's filtration, but this is an assumption so my apologies if i got this

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
