This wording of this question sounds like you may be confused. In the term "carboxyl group", group refers to a specific group of atoms (COOH), not to a group of similar types of compounds. Since hydrocarbons by definition contain only carbon and hydrogen, a hydrocarbon cannot contain a carboxyl group.
