Hydrocarbons are characterized by having carbon bonds in their structure. Depending on the type of bond, hydrocarbons will have different nomenclature and properties.

When they have a single C-C bond, they are called alkanes.

If they have C=C double bonds, they are alkenes.

And those with triple bond C≡C will be the alkynes

Alcohols have an OH group in their structure.

Answer: Therefore, for a triple bond it will be an alkyne. The third option.
