Answer:

Option C: Butane

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Butane”.

The main constituent of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is butane.

However, propane is also a major constituent of LPG, and there may be other hydrocarbons present in smaller quantities, depending on the source and processing methods used.

LPG is typically used as a fuel for heating and cooking, as well as for some industrial and transportation applications.
