    Maybe?

    a) Alfred Nobel = Nobel Prize

    Because without Alfred Nobel there was no Nobel Prize

    b) Nobel Prize = Dynamites

    Without the income of dynamite business there would have been no Nobel Prize.

    c)Dynamite = nitroglycerine

    Without nitroglycerine you can not make a dynamite.

    d) Nitroglycerine = glycerol.

    Without nitrating glycerine you can not make nitroglycerine.

    e) glycerol = peanut oil

    Without peanut oil you can not make a glycerine.

    f) peanut oil = peanuts.

    Peanut oil only comes from peanuts.

    It is False.

    Dynamite contains three parts nitroglycerin, one part diatomaceous earth and a small admixture of sodium carbonate. This mixture is formed into short sticks and wrapped in paper. Nitroglycerin by itself is a very strong explosive and in its pure form it is shock-sensitive (i.e., physical shock can cause it to explode), degrading over time to even more unstable forms. This makes it highly dangerous to transport or use in its pure form. Absorbed into diatomaceous earth, nitroglycerin is less shock-sensitive.
