(D) The general equation for the combustion of alkanes is $C_n H_{2n+2} + (\frac{3n+1}{2}) O_2 ightarrow n CO_2 + (n+1) H_2O + 	ext{Heat}$.Greater the value of $n$ (number of carbon atoms),greater will be the amount of heat produced upon combustion.Comparing the given alkanes: Methane $(n=1)$,Ethane $(n=2)$,Propane $(n=3)$,and Butane $(n=4)$.Since Butane has the highest number of carbon atoms $(n=4)$,it releases the maximum energy upon combustion.

Which of the following on combustion gives maximum energy?
