The general formula of hydrocarbons with single covalent bonds is :

$\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2n+2}$
$\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2n}$
$\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2n-2}$
$\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2n-6}$

Solution:

(a)

\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2n+2}

Explanation: Hydrocarbons with single covalent bonds are called alkanes. These are saturated hydrocarbons. Since all the valencies of carbon are fully satisfied in the formula

\mathrm{C}_n \mathrm{H}_{2n+2}

by a single bond.
