Solution

The correct option is C 1-pentene
The next homologue of $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H = C H_{2}$ 1-butene or $C_{4} H_{8}$ is 1-pentene $C_{5} H_{10}$ .

A homologous series is a group of organic compounds whose members differ by one $C H_{2}$ group. Hence $C_{4} H_{8} + C H_{2} = C_{5} H_{10}$

Hence, the correct option is $C$
