butane (c₄h₁₀)
they contain both carbon and hydrogen.
they contain only carbon.
they contain only hydrogen.
done

Explanation:

Organic compounds are defined as compounds that contain carbon. Methane (\(CH_4\)) has carbon (\(C\)) and hydrogen (\(H\)). Butane (\(C_4H_{10}\)) also has carbon (\(C\)) and hydrogen (\(H\)). So they both contain carbon and hydrogen.

Answer:

They contain both carbon and hydrogen.
