Here's the step by step explanation:

A. CH4 (Methane) - It is an organic compound as it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds.

B. CCl4 (Carbon Tetrachloride) - It is not an organic compound as it does not contain any carbon-hydrogen bonds. It only contains carbon-chlorine bonds.

C. H2CO3 (Carbonic Acid) - It is an organic compound as it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds.
