Solution

The correct option is B $C_{2} H_{6}$
Alkanes or paraffins are acyclic saturated hydrocarbons. All the carbon carbon bonds are single. Alkanes have a general formula $C_{n} H_{2} n + 2$ .
In an alkane each carbon atom is $S P^{3}$ hybridized, with four sigma bonds, and each hydrogen is joined to one of the carbon atoms.
$C_{2} H_{6}$ is an alkane.
