Industrial fractional distillation of crude oil separates the complex mixture into fractions containing compounds with similar boiling points. A sample of the gas oil fraction, which typically contains hydrocarbons with 15 to 19 carbon atoms, is analyzed.

Which of the following groups of molecular formulas represents a mixture of compounds that could all realistically be present in this fraction?
