thoughts?

as a hint, let's start by eliminating C (having double C=C bonds *is* part of the definition of an alkene) and A (the carbons are "unsaturated" because they have fewer hydrogen atoms than their max capacity)

between B + D, do you have any thougts? if you're having trouble, try considering/researching whether alkenes or alkanes are more stable
