Solution

The correct option is B

C6H12


Unsaturation in a carbon compound is due to the presence of carbon-carbon double or triple bonds.

C6H12 is an alkene with a possible structure CH3CH2CH2CH2CH=CH2. As you can see there is a presence of a double bond, so it is an unsaturated compound. Alkanes and alkanes derivatives are saturated compounds. While C6H14 is an alkane (hexane). C3H7OH and C3H7OH are alkane derivatives. Hence option B is correct.
