Solution

The correct option is D

2 - Butyne


(a), (b) and (c) are alkenes: they have the same general formula & 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.
