Chemistry Question on Hydrocarbons

Amongst the given options, the compound(s) in which all the atoms are in one plane in all the possible conformations (if any), is/are

A

B

C

H2C=C=0H_2C=C=0

D

H2C=C=CH2H_2C=C=CH_2

Answer

H2C=C=0H_2C=C=0

Explanation

Solution

In both (b) and (c), all the atoms are present in one single plane
In (a) 1, 3-butadiene, conformational change is possible
between C2C3C_2-C_3 bond in which atoms will be present in more
than one single plane.
In (d) allene, the terminals H-C-H planes are perpendicular
to one another.
