Solution

The correct option is C
Unsaturated hydrocarbons have atleast one double bond or triple bond between any of its carbon atoms.

Amongst the given options, only the compound shown below has a double bond between its carbon atoms. Hence, it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

The IUPAC name of this compound is but-2-ene.
Although one other compound has a double bond in it, it is a saturated hydrocarbon as the double bond is not between carbon atoms, but between a carbon and oxygen atom.
