Answer:

A. Oils the road has absorbed begin to float.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oil tends to float on water, so any oil on the surface of the roadway will tend to float on the film of water that forms when rain starts. After it has been raining for a while, the runoff will have removed much of the oil.
