Solution

The correct option is D

2 - Butyne


(a), (b) and (c) are alkenes: they have the same general formula and have similar chemical properties (common properties, in general, that characterize the functional group). Hence they are part of the same homologous series.

(d) is an alkyne and hence is a different category of hydrocarbon.
