Answer: A. unsaturated

Step-by-step explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is
C_nH_(2n+2)

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is
C_nH_(2n) and
C_nH_(2n-2)

Aromatic hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which Huckel's rule
(2n+2)\pi is obeyed. Example: Benzene

Substituted hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which hydrogen is replaced by some other element. Example:
CH_3Cl
