Solution

The correct option is C All of the above
A homologous series is a series of compounds with the same general formula, usually varying by a single parameter—such as the length of a carbon chain.
For alkene, homologous series is formed with a repeating unit of $- C H 2 -$ group-

$C H_{2} = C H_{2}$ (Ethene)
$C H_{3} - C H = C H_{2}$ (Propene)
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H = C H_{2}$ (But-1-ene)
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H = C H$ (Pent-1-ene)

Option D is correct.
