Solution

The correct option is D $C_{3} H_{8}$
Propane $C_{3} H_{8}$ is the saturated hydrocarbon. It contains all single bonds. No double or triple bond is present. A hydrocarbon contains C and H only. Hence, the options (D) and (E) are ruled out as they contain O atoms.
$C_{2} H_{4}$ contains $C = C$ double bond and $C_{4} H_{6}$ contains $C \equiv C$ triple bond or two $C = C$ double bonds.
Hence, they are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
