Solution

The correct option is B $C_{2} H_{2} a n d C_{3} H_{6}$
All organic compounds give a combustion reaction but only unsaturated hydrocarbons, like alkenes and alkynes, undergo an addition reaction.
A) $C H_{4}$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{3}$ both are saturated hydrocarbons.
B) $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{3}$ both are saturated hydrocarbons.
C) $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$ and $C H_{4}$ both are saturated hydrocarbons.
D) $C H \equiv C H$ and $C H_{2} = C H - C H_{3}$ both are unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Hence, option D is correct.
