D Correct answer
Explanation

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is primarily propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), which liquefy under moderate pressure. Methane requires much higher pressure to liquefy and is the main component of CNG (compressed natural gas), not LPG. Hexane (C6H14) and nonane (C9H20) are liquid at room temperature and not used in LPG.
