Ca.

Hydrogen and Carbon combined
Zn = zinc which is a metal, not a carbon atom
Cl=chlorine, just not a carbon atom
Sn isn’t a carbon atom.
I Am positive that it is Ca because Ca means carbon

Answer:

Cl

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrocarbons are Carbon chains that contain at least one halogen (F, Cl, Br, I and At)

Cl is a halogen

(I got this right on the test too)
