Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as compounds that contain carbon (with some exceptions like \(CO_2\) which are considered inorganic). \(H_2O\) (water) and \(MgO\) (magnesium oxide) do not contain carbon. \(CO_2\) is an exception (inorganic). \(CH_4\) (methane) contains carbon and is a hydrocarbon, which is an organic compound.

Answer:

D. \(CH_4\)
