a) Butyne (CH3CH2CCH) 6H
b) Butane (CH3CH2CH2CH3) 10H
c) Butene (CH3CH2CHCH2) 8H
d) Cyclobutane (CH2CH2CH2CH2) 8H
so agreed a)
Note that there is a learning point here in that there is an equivalance between a ring (in cyclobutane) and a double bond. So we can talk in terms of 'double bond equivalents'.
