A), B), and C) are correct.

Explanation:

They all have a nine-carbon chain with phenyl groups on #"C2"# and #"C4"#.

Structure D) is incorrect because it represents 2,5-diphenylnonane.

A possible condensed structure is

#"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"("C"_6"H"_5)"CH"_2"CH"("C"_6"H"_5)"CH"_3#
