Solution
The correct option is A Empirical formula
An empirical formula is a formula which gives us proportions of the elements present in that compound, but it does not tell us the arrangement of atoms or an actual number of those atoms. Example - Molecular formula of benzene is C6H6 , i.e 1:1 hence its empirical formula is CH.
