The given three hydrocarbons are:
Correct answer: B. Aromatic hydrocarbons
- A. Alicyclic hydrocarbons
- B. Aromatic hydrocarbons
- C. Acyclic hydrocarbons
- D. Heterocyclic hydrocarbons
Explanation
Aromatic hydrocarbons are the correct answer because they contain benzene rings, which the hydrocarbons shown possess. Alicyclic hydrocarbons have non-aromatic carbon rings, acyclic hydrocarbons do not have any rings, and heterocyclic hydrocarbons contain atoms other than carbon in their ring structures. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect based on the structures of the hydrocarbons provided.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
