Solution

The correct option is D
4

$C H_{4}$ consists of one atom of carbon and 4 atoms of hydrogen. So here one carbon atom combines with 4 atoms of hydrogen. Since we know that the valency of hydrogen is 1, by equating the valency of carbon and hydrogen, we can conclude that valency of carbon is 4.
