Solution

The correct option is A Propene
Compounds having the same functional group and that can be represented by a general formula form a homologous series. In a homologous series, the successive members differ by a $C H_{2}$ group.

So, the next homologue of ethene which has a general formula of $C_{n} H_{2n}$ is propene $(C_{3} H_{6})$ .
