Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecules having whole number for degree of unsaturation can exist in free state as stable compounds. Degree of unsaturation \(=\frac{\Sigma n(v-2)}{2}+1\) where, \(n=\) number of atoms of a particular type \(v=\) valency of the atom. (a) For…
