organic chemistry - Least likely product of a hydrocarbon cracking reaction?



The hydrocarbon $\ce{C17H36}$ can be cracked. Which compound is the least likely to be produced in this reaction?


A: $\ce{C3H8}$
B: $\ce{C4H8}$

C: $\ce{C8H16}$
D: $\ce{C16H34}$



Is it D because cracking's purpose is the breaking of long hydrocarbon chains into smaller ones?
