Answer:

The answer is a) [tex]C_{4} H_{16} O_{5}[/tex]

Explanation:

The other chemical formulas' subscripts share a common factor, so they can be simplified to an empirical formula, however, the subscripts in  [tex]C_{4} H_{16} O_{5}[/tex] cannot be simplified any further, because they do not share any more whole-number factors with each other.
