Solution

The correct options are
A
$C H_{3} C O O H$

B
$C_{2} H_{5} O H$

D
$C_{2} H_{4}$

$\to$ Organic compounds are any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen.

So, If we take look at the options,

$C H_{3} C O O H \to$ Contains carbon

$C_{2} H_{5} O H \to$ Contains carbon

$H N O_{3} \to$ Does not contain carbon

$C_{2} H_{4} \to$ Contains carbon

Therefore, option (c) is incorrect. All others are correct.
