Calorific value (CV): amount of energy released per gram is called calorific value

Quality of fuel increases with increase in calorific value 

CV= Heat of combustion MW 

Ethane, CV=H eat of cambustton MW=-341.130=11.37KJ/g

Ethene, CV=H eat of cambustton MW=-33028=11.78KJ/g

Acetylene, CV= Heat of cambustion MW=-310.926=11.95KJ/g

Acetylene have best CV value and hence is the best fuel 

Hence the correct option is (C).
