Detailed Solution

ALKANE --------> CO2

0.2 mol     gives      26.4g

1 mol        gives      26.4/0.2

1  mol        gives       132g

1  mol of CO2  = 44g

3 mol of CO2  = 132g

It is concluding that alkane has three carbons and it is providing 3  CO2  

Then, the formula for alkane is C3H8 that is propane.

Molecular weight of propane = 44

Therefore, Option (C) is correct.
