Catenation is a process in which carbon shows the properties of making
Correct answer: C. Long chain or rings of carbon atom
- A. Multiple bonds
- B. Hybridization
- C. Long chain or rings of carbon atom
- D. Showing isomerism
Explanation
C (long chain or rings of carbon atom) is the correct answer as it specifically describes the process of catenation, where carbon atoms can form long chains or rings through covalent bonding.

About Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic compounds are classified by carbon skeleton into open-chain, branched-chain and cyclic compounds, including homocyclic and heterocyclic types. The classification also uses functional groups to distinguish hydrocarbons, halo compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, which is different from naming compounds by IUPAC rules.
