Solution

The correct option is B Alkanes
On comparing Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, saturated hydrocarbons are highly reactive so they catch fire easily.
Reason:- Reactivity of alkene and alkynes is lower than alkane as there are multiple bonds are present in the unsaturated compounds(alkene and alkynes) that needs to break before the reaction occurs.
