Model Answer

Answer: C — Alkane

Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) is a cyclic compound with all single bonds between carbon atoms, making it a saturated hydrocarbon, i.e., an alkane.

Explanation

The textbook states that cyclohexane has formula C₆H₁₂ and is a ring (cyclic) structure with only single bonds — hence saturated. Saturated hydrocarbons are called alkanes. Don't confuse it with alkenes (double bond) or aromatics like benzene (C₆H₆). The "cyclo" prefix simply indicates the ring form of an alkane.
