Solution
The correct option is A Propane
For chain isomerism, there should be more than or equal to 4 carbon atoms, thus propane can't show chain isomerism.
In a molecule such as propane, no matter how you arrange the carbon atoms a new structure cannot be formed i.e. however you number the carbon atoms you will end up with 3 as the total number of carbons.
Option A is correct.
