Limiting your answer to cycloalkanes and ignoring stereoisomers, how many C6H12 constitutional isomers are there?
A) 6
B) 9
C) 11
D) 13

So, everything I've tried has given me 12 cycloalkane isomers for C6H12. The link below reaffirms the train of though that I had - there are 12 structures from hexane to (1) - isopropylcyclopropane. However, the answer to the question is supposed to be 11. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong??

12 is correct. The question must have ignored one of the possibilities.
