Solution

The correct option is C iso-octane
An aromatic compound has the highest octane number. The octane number of aromatic hydrocarbons are exceptionally high. Note: In case of straight chain hydrocarbons, octane number decreases with increase in the length of the chain. Branching of chain increases the value of octane number.
Hence option C $i s o - o c t a n e$ is correct ans.
