Answer:

A. 6 carbon atoms forming single bonds with 13 hydrogen atoms the second carbon from the right has a methyl group attached to it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here 6 carbon atoms forming single bonds with 13 hydrogen atoms the second carbon from the right has a methyl group attached to it,has a chemical formula of
C_7H_1_6.

It is in the form of
CNH_2N+2,Which is the general formula for alkanes.

So here,the formula is
C_7H_1_6,which is the general formula of Heptane.
