The answer is A (I think).

D is an ionic compound, which means that it doesn't have molecules.
C is a molecular formula.
B would be the answer I'd go for if it wasn't A.

I think it is A as well. C3H6 is part of the alkene group which has a variety of formulas in its homologous series.. like C6H12 so and C2H4. So, I think you're right ^^ im going with the A

It's A. B is wrong because it isn't an empirical formula - the empirical formula of C3H6 is CH2.
