Solution

The correct option is B saturation
Addition reactions are typical of unsaturated organic compounds, i.e., alkenes, which contain a carbon-carbon double bond, and alkynes, which have a carbon-carbon triple bond. Addition reactions to alkenes and alkynes are sometimes called saturation reactions because the reaction causes the carbon atoms to become saturated with the maximum number of attached groups.
