      A C₄H₁₀ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B C₅H₅ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C C₅H₁₀ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D C₅H₁₂ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Pentane has the chemical formula C₅H₁₂. This follows the pattern of alkane hydrocarbons, where the general formula is CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. For comparison:
      - Methane: CH₄
      - Ethane: C₂H₆
      - Propane: C₃H₈
      - Butane: C₄H₁₀
      - Pentane: C₅H₁₂
      - Hexane: C₆H₁₄
