Answer:

B.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Organic

  • Hydrocarbons
  • Bond-Line Notation: Each "arrow" point represents a carbon and the lines represent a bond between the carbons. Hydrogens are assumed added when drawing the molecular formulas

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given C₈H₁₈. We need a Bond-Line notation where there are 8 "arrow" points (which represent Carbon). We can disregard the Hydrogens as they are assumed to take the rest of the bonds.

Only option B has a value of 8 carbons, represented by the "arrow" points. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
