✓ Answer:
A
(i), (ii) and (iv)
Compounds (i), (ii), and (iv) are saturated. A saturated hydrocarbon is a compound where all carbon atoms are linked by single bonds only, and they follow the general molecular formula CnH2n+2. Based on this formula: C2H6 (ethane): 2(2)+2 = 6 (saturated). C3H8 (propane): 3(2)+2 = 8 (saturated). C4H10 (butane): 4(2)+2 = 10 (saturated).
