The given formula of X indicates that it has two triple bonds (four degree of unsaturation). Hence, possible diynes are <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/e7dd7c83973f6e59ab19bf6db790d5e7-.png" /> All of the above five diynes have different IUPAC names
