Correct Answer - B
There can be 3 possible isomers for an alkane having formula `C_(5)H_(12)`. These are as follows:
`Ch_(3) underset("n-pentane")(CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)) CH_(3), CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
`underset("Neopentane")(CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C ) - CH_(3))`
