Solution

The correct option is C an alkane
Catalytic hydrogenation of an alkene gives its corresponding alkane. It involves addition of hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated hydrocarbon, in the presence of a catalyst like Ni or Pd to form a saturated hydrcarbon.

For example,

CH2=CH2(g) + H2(g) Ni/Pd−−CH3CH3(g) Ethene Ethane
