    B. Motor oil

    Explanation:

    Both gasoline and motor oil are non-polar hydrocarbons. The intermolecular force of attraction in these molecules is the London dispersion force which is higher for molecules with larger molar mass.

    Viscosity is essentially the resistance to flow offered by the liquid. This is dependent on the intermolecular force of attraction. Stronger force implies that the molecules are held together strongly and will not move freely resulting in higher viscosity.

    It is given that motor oil is more viscous which implies that the molecules in motor oil are held by stronger intermolecular forces of attraction. This would suggest that motor oil would have a higher molar mass than gasoline.
