Answer:

D. C₂H₂ and C₆H₆

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound. Every compound can be simplified or represented by an empirical formula.

So, from the given choices, the pair expressed as molecular formula and empirical formula is the fourth choice.

C₂H₂ and C₆H₆

The number of atoms in the molecular formula C₆H₆ is 6 carbon and 6 hydrogen.

We can simplify by dividing by 3 into C₂H₂ which is the empirical formula.
