Solution

The correct option is A $C_{2} H_{6}$
The molecular formula of an organic compound is $C_{3} H_{8}$ with the empirical formula $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ of alkanes.

The compound that below belongs to the propane hydrocarbon is $C_{2} H_{6}$ with the same empirical formula.

Hence the correct option is A.
