Answer: The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
We are given four hydrocarbons that are mainly alkanes.
Alkanes are the organic compounds that have a single bond which is present between two Carbon-Carbon bonds.
Butane is an alkane having 4 carbon atoms.
Propane is an alkane having 3 carbon atoms.
Methane is an alkane having 1 carbon atoms.
Ethane is an alkane having 2 carbon atoms.
All these alkanes are present in gaseous state.
The gas which is present in cigarette lighters is butane.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
