Solution

(c) $C_{6} H_{6}$

Benzene ( $C_{6} H_{6}$ ) is the cyclic hydrocarbon having carbon-carbon single bonds as well as carbon-carbon double bonds in its molecule.

Alkanes are a group of acyclic, saturated hydrocarbons. These contain carbon-carbon single bonds. The single bond is made up of one σ (sigma) bond.
Their general formula is $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ $e . g : C_{6} H_{14}$
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that have at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Their general formula is $C_{n} H_{2 n}$ e.g : $C_{6} H_{12}$
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that have at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. Their general formula is $C_{n} H_{2 n - 2}$ e.g : $C_{6} H_{10}$
Aromatic compounds are chemical compounds that consist of conjugated planar ring systems accompanied by delocalized pi-electron clouds in place of individual alternating double and single bonds. They are also called aromatics or arenes. The best examples are toluene and benzene.
