Solution

The correct option is D $C_{n} H_{2 n + 1} X$
Mono halogen derivatives of alkanes are obtained by substituting one hydrogen atom of alkanes by one halogen atom.
The general formula for alkanes is $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ .
Hence the general formula for mono halogen derivatives of alkanes will be $C_{n} H_{2 n + 1} X$ .
