Explanation:

• Geologic traps are structures that prevent petroleum from escaping to the surface. Non - permeable rocks (like clay or shale) cap petroleum reservoirs. Permeable rocks (such as sandstone or limestone) allow petroleum to move through them.
• The statement "Geologic traps allow petroleum to pass through non - permeable rocks" is false. Non - permeable rocks do not allow petroleum to pass through.

Answer:

• B. Geologic traps prevent petroleum from reaching Earth's surface.
• C. Petroleum reservoirs are capped by non - permeable rocks, like clay or shale.
• D. Petroleum can move through permeable rocks, like sandstone or limestone.
