Solution

The correct option is C $C_{2} H_{4}$
${C H}_{4}$ , $C_{2} H_{6}$ and $C_{3} H_{8}$ are saturated hydrocarbons.
Hence, they will give substitution reaction.

$C_{2} H_{4}$ on the other hand is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
It will give addition reaction.

For example, catalytic hydrogenation of ethylene gives ethane. A molecule of hydrogen is added across $C = C$ double bond.
$C_{2} H_{4} + H_{2} N i / P t / P d - ----- \to C_{2} H_{6}$
