  • A. C-C
  • B. C-C-C
  • C. C=C
  • D. Both a and c

Explanation

The correct answer is Option C:C=C. In alkene structures, carbons are sp2 hybridized with double bonds between them. Option A and B are incorrect as they do not exhibit the necessary double bonds characteristic of alkenes. Option D is also incorrect as it mixes properties of alkanes and alkenes together, while alkenes must have double bonds, unlike option A.
