The hydrocarbon which would most likely be an alkyne is COMPOUND W WHICH HAS A BOILING POINT OF -23.
This is because, among hydrocarbons, alkynes have the highest boiling points as a result of the triple bonds in their structures.
The boiling points of the other compounds are -103.7, -47 and -75; all these boiling points are lower than that of compound W.
