C Correct answer
Explanation

Equanil (meprobamate) has the chemical formula C4H12CaN2O4 as the calcium salt, containing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. The presence of nitrogen is indicated by the 'amate' suffix (carbamate). Carbon and Hydrogen alone (A) is insufficient, C-H-O (B) lacks the nitrogen, and C-H-O-N-S (D) incorrectly adds sulfur.
