The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{C}_8 \mathrm{H}_8$
$\mathrm{C}_8 \mathrm{H}_8$ is
It is a derivative of benzene and decolorised the cold alkaline $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ solution.
The reaction occurs as follows :
$\mathrm{C}_8 \mathrm{H}_8+2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4 \longrightarrow \mathrm{KC}_8 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{O}_2$ $+2 \mathrm{MnO}_2+\mathrm{KOH}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
