i think why its pentane is because we all know dat from methane to buthane are gases then from pentane to octane are liquid propably the rest are solid and i think pentane falls into that order

Even the explanation MySchool gave clearly states "Propane which is C3H8 and Butane C4H10". So, why did they choose Pentane(C5H12) as their answer again?

the answer is C3H8 which is propane.
propane, butane and other petroleum gases are found at the top of the distillation tower for crude oil and propane can also be in liquid form when stored under pressure in a tank and when pressure is released it vapourizes and turns into a gas.

well , propane is not a liquid hydrocarbon
maybe the question was supposed the be " a gaseous hydrocarbon"

If the explanation states "The gas used in gas bottles is LPG – liquefied petroleum gas – which are either propane or butane, flammable hydrocarbons used as fuel for home heating, cooking, hot water and LPG cars and vehicles". how come the selected answer is now B. Pentane instead of A.Propane

The answer is PROPANE(C3H8) : used in LPG( LIQUID PETROLEUM GASES ) for domestic cooking
domestic cooking is mainly liquified petroleum gases ( LPG)
THE ANSWER IS CORRECT
