In cleaning up an oil spill, the use of straw or reclaimed paper fibers would be an example of which type of oil removal?

Correct Answer: Option C — Absorbent removal

Absorbent removal involves using materials that soak up oil through capillary action. Straw, reclaimed paper fibers, and specialized synthetic pads are classified as absorbents. These materials physically trap the oil, allowing for easier collection and disposal, which is a standard mechanical response technique for small deck spills.
