In general, empirical formulas are normally formula with the least values for the subscripts.

They usually don't have only even numbers as the subscripts and they tend to have 1 as the subscript of at least one element.

From this, we can conclude that the molecular formula that is also an empirical formula is CH4.

It means that the correct answer is b. CH4.
