Answer:

C) They all have single covalent bonds.

Explanation:

The given hydrocarbons Butane,Ethane,Methane,Propane belongs to alkane group.

In alkane group consists of hydrogen and carbon in which carbon_carbon bonds are single and carbon_hydrogen bond is also single.

The elements of this group makes bond by sharing of electrons that means they form single covalent bond.

Butane have 4 , Ethane has 2, Methane has 1, and Propane has 3 carbon atoms.

Since they have different number of carbon atoms so their structural formula also differs.
