Answer

### $C_{4}H_{9}$

Explain

## Step1: Identify the butyl group<br />### A butyl group is an alkyl group derived from butane by removing one hydrogen atom. Butane's formula is $C_{4}H_{10}$.<br />## Step2: Determine the correct formula for the butyl group<br />### Removing one hydrogen from butane ($C_{4}H_{10}$) gives us $C_{4}H_{9}$ for the butyl group.<br /><br />#
