A homologous series is a series of organic compounds which belong to the same family i.e., possess same functional group) and show similar chemical properties. The members of this series are called homologous and differ from each other by the number of `CH_2`, units in the main carbon chain.
Which of the following represent the name and formula of the `2^(nd)` member of homologous series having general formula `C_(n)H_(2n + 2)` ?

A

Methane, `CH_4`

B

Ethane, `C_2H_6`

C
