Correct Answer: Only I


Solution : The correct answer is Only I

Alkenes are hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond, whether they are branched or unbranched. There is at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond in every alkene. CnH2n is the general formula for alkenes. A family of compounds known as cycloalkanes is made up of carbon atoms joined in a circle. CnH2n+2 is the general formula for cycloalkanes.
