Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In all the other options either Carbon has more than 4 atoms attached or less than 4.

Carbon can not form more than four bonds. It can only share 4 electrons .

In other option C, No H-atom is linked in the right most Carbon.

whereas according to the definition of Hydrocarbon it should have been a Hydrogen atom.
