Solution

The correct option is D propene
This is a chemical test to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Bromine water is a brown coloured liquid. Unsaturated hydrocarbons give addition reaction with bromine water and so the color of bromine water gets decolorized. Saturated hydrocarbons do not react with bromine water hence the colour of bromine water does not get decolourised.
