Solution

The correct option is C $C_{2} H_{6}$
Catenation is the linkage of atoms of the same element into longer chains. Catenation occurs most readily in carbon, which forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer chains and structures. $C_{2} H_{6}$ has C-C bonding, thereby making a longer chain.
