Answer: 1-hexene

Step-by-step explanation:

it has 6 C atoms that's why its hex;

ene - because of the double bond,

and the number 1 - where the double bond is. (we have to count from which side the number is lower)

In different places they call it 1-hexene, in other hex-1-ene, so choose which one you use :)
