(C) $(i)$ Compounds $A, B$ and $C$ are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond.
$(ii)$ The boiling point of members of a homologous series increases with an increase in molecular mass (i.e.,an increase in the number of carbon atoms). Since compound $C$ has the lowest boiling point,it must have the minimum number of carbon atoms.
$(iii)$ The general formula $C_{n}H_{2n}$ represents the homologous series of alkenes.
