I'm thinking organic... agreeing with the previous person
(eg: C6H12O6-sugar,CH3COOH, etc.)
Though CO2 is inorganic...

Organic. NOT Hydrocarbon!
For it to be Hydrocarbon would mean that Carbon is attached to Hydrogen.
But not all Organic compounds are Hydrocarbons.
It is not inorganic or hydrophilic either.

Hydrocarbons.
All hydrocarbons molecules contains carbon.
Organic does assume that life is involved, and inorganic is when no living organism is involved.
Carbon molecules can be organic (living organism) or inorganic (lump of coal).
Hydrophilic got nothing to do with carbon.

Organic
That's why living things all contain carbon...the only exception is, I believe, a diamond.
