The correct option is A $C H_{2}$
Homologous series refer to a series of compounds that can be represented by a general formula. For example, alkanes $(C_{n} H_{2 n + 2})$ , alkenes $(C_{n} H_{2 n})$ , etc.

Methane $(C H_{4})$ and ethane $(C_{2} H_{6})$ belong to the same homologous series. Each successive member in a homologous series differ by a $C H_{2}$ group.
