Solution

The correct options are
B
Ethene

C
Ethyne

D
Acetylene

In ethane, a single bond is formed between the carbon atoms. Therefore, it is a saturated compound. All the other compounds i.e. ethene, ethyne and benzene have double or triple bonds between carbon atoms and are thus unsaturated compounds.
