Answer:

A.) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Propane only exists in one conformation. It does not have enough carbons to form branches, and there are only hydrogens attached to each carbon. Furthermore, there is no way to twist the carbon or change its orientation (ex. cis- and trans-) to result in a different structure of propane. There is no other way to represent the molecule without drawing a different molecule.
