Detailed Solution

The ratio of number of atoms of A,B and C = $1.33 : 1 : 1.5$

Simplifying it we get the ratio for A,B and C= $8 : 6 : 9$

Empirical formula is the simplest way in which a compound can be represented.

Hence in this case the empirical formula of compound will be- $A_{8} B_{6} C_{9}$ .

Hence option C is the correct answer.
