Solution

The correct option is A straight chain.
The following structure is of an pentane. In the straight-chain alkanes, each carbon is bound to its two neighbors and to two hydrogen atoms. Exceptions are the two terminal carbon nuclei, which are bound to only one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms.
Hence option A is correct.
