The ration of mass per cent of C and H of an organic compound `(C_(x)H_(y)O_(z)) "is"6:1`. If one molecule of the above compound `(C_(x)H_(Y)O_(z))` contains half as much oxygen as required to burn one molecule of compound `C_(x)H_(Y)` compleltely to `CO_(2) and H_(2)O`. The empirial formula of compound `C_(x)H_(y)O_(z)` is:

A

`C_(2)H_(4)O_(3)`

B

`C_(3)H_(6)O_(3)`

C

`C_(2)H_(4)O`

D

`C_(3)H_(4)O_(2)`
