Detailed Solution


In CH3CH2-CH2CH3

All C atoms are sp2 hybridised

In CH3-CH=CHCH3

C atoms are sp3 and sp2 hybridised

In CH2=CHCCH

C atoms are sp2 and sp hybridised

In HCCCH3

C atoms are sp3 and sp hybridised

Thus, CH3CH2-CH2CH3 has all C atoms of same hybridisation.

Hence, the correct option is option (A) CH3CH2-CH2CH3.
