D
C4H12
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As we learned, butyne is a compound with the chemical formula of C4 H6. It’s a highly flammable gas with four carbons and an alkyne, which is a carbon based compound with a triple bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -The compound C3H4 has a triple bond, which is confirmed by its reaction with. No worries!

Detailed explanation-3: -Among the given compounds, only C3H4 has a triple bond as it corresponds to the general formula for alkynes CnH2n−2, where n = 3.

Detailed explanation-4: -C 2 H 2, and C 3 H 4 contains a triple bond.

Detailed explanation-5: -General Chemistry I a) Ethylene (C₂H₄) is an alkene that comprises two carbon atoms having a double bond between them. Four C-H single bonds are also present in the compound. Hence this option can be neglected as ethylene does not contain a triple bond.
