Solution

The correct option is D
$C_{3} H_{8}$

Homologous series is a series of compounds in which every member can be represented by a general formula. Every successive member differs by $C H_{2}$ group. The homologous series given to us here is the alkane group homologous series. So, the successive member after $C_{2} H_{6}$ in the given alkane homologous series is $C_{3} H_{8}$ .
