Solution

The correct option is B unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons
Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons as they contain carbon carbon multiple bonds and contain only two elements C and H.

For example, propene $C H_{3} - C H = C H_{2}$ (Alkene) and propyne $C H_{3} - C \equiv C H$ (Alkyne) are unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Hence option B is correct.
