Solution

The correct option is C Cyclopentane has a non planar structure.
Cyclopropane is planar structure (all carbon atom in same plane) as shown below :


Cyclobutane is non planar structure and it has puckered like structure .
Puckered conformation of cyclobutane which increases the angle strain but decreases the torsional strain until a minimum energy balance between the two opposing effects is reached.
Cyclopentane is non planar structure and it has open envelope like structure.


Cyclopentane adopts a puckered, out of plane conformation that strikes a balance between increased angle strain and decreased torsional strain.
