Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
C₂H₆ (ethane) follows the general formula CnH₂n+2 (n=2 gives C₂H₆), which is the formula for alkanes. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds. Alkenes have CnH₂n (e.g., C₂H₄), alkynes CnH₂n-2 (e.g., C₂H₂), alcohols have –OH group. Ethane is a component of natural gas and is used to produce ethylene. Methane (CH₄) is the simplest alkane.
