Solution

The correct option is D zero
A saturated hydrocarbon (or other organic molecule) utilises all of its bonding electron to make single bonds with another atom. It cannot make any additional bond without cutting off part of the existing molecule. Hence saturated. Thus saturated hydrocarbon contains zero double bond.
