The correct answer is B) Alkylene oxides. Ethylene oxide belongs to the chemical family of alkylene oxides, which are cyclic organic compounds containing an oxygen atom connected to two adjacent carbon atoms. This classification is based on the chemical structure and properties of ethylene oxide. Alkylene oxides, including ethylene oxide, are commonly used in various industrial and commercial applications.
