Solution

The correct option is C Butane
The compound given has four carbon atoms so the word root for this compound is 'but'.

Since all the carbon atoms are bonded to each other by only single bonds, this compound is an alkane and the suffix in this case will be '-ane'.

Therefore, the name of this compound is butane.
