Solution

The correct options are
A
B
C
D
Isomers are the compounds having same chemical formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule. Out of all the given compounds, only CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 (hexane) is a structural isomer of C6H14.
This is because hexane has the same number of hydrogen as well as carbon atoms as that of C6H14.

All the other compounds are not an isomer of C6H14 because:
- They have oxygen or chlorine atoms in them unlike C6H14, which has neither oxygen nor chlorine atoms in it.
- The number of carbon atoms in them are different.
- The number of hydrogen atoms in them are different.
