Solution

The correct option is B $C_{4} H_{8}$
a saturated compound is a chemical compound that resists the addition reactions, such as hydrogenation, oxidative addition, and binding of a Lewis base. The term is used in many contexts and for many classes of chemical compounds. Overall, saturated compounds are less reactive than unsaturated compounds.
An unsaturated compound is a chemical compound that contains carbon-carbon double bonds or triple bonds, such as those found in alkenes or alkynes, respectively. Saturated and unsaturated compounds need not consist only of a carbon atom chain.
Therefore, $C_{4} H_{8}$ is not an example of saturated as it contain double bond. Hence, Option B is a correct answer.
