In which of these cyclic compounds you find the minimum angle strain?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

According to Baeyer's strain theory:- 

Stability of cycloalkane is inversely proportional to the angle of strain  θ  means a greater angle of strain lesser stability of cycloalkane (till cyclohexane).

Stability order of cycloalkane: 

C 3 H 6 < C 4 H 8  < C 5 H 10  < C 6 H 12    Minimum θ ​
