Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A condensed structure formula is a formula which shows that atoms are bonded through lines.

Propane is an alkane and alkanes have general formula $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$.

A propane molecule contains three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms. It's condensed structure formula is as follows.

          $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}$
