Solution

The correct option is B
Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons

Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated in nature because of the presence of the double and triple bonds in them respectively.

An aliphatic compound is a hydrocarbon compound containing carbon and hydrogen joined together in straight chains, branched trains or non-aromatic rings.Aliphatic compounds may be saturated.
