Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Examples of organic compounds are Hydrocarbons, Chlorinated hydrocarbons and Simple Sugars.
An organochloride, organochlorine compound, chlorocarbon, or chlorinated hydrocarbon is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine.
Chlorination modifies the physical properties of hydrocarbons in several ways. These compounds are typically denser than water due to the higher atomic weight of chlorine versus hydrogen.
