To answer this question, we first need to identify the parent chain of the alkene. The parent chain of an alkene is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that includes the carbon-carbon double bond.

Unfortunately, without a visual representation of the alkene, it's impossible to definitively identify the parent chain. However, we can still discuss how to identify it.

1. Start by identifying the carbon-carbon double bond, as this must be included in the parent chain.
2. Count the number of carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain that includes the double bond. This is the parent chain.
3. The name of the parent chain is based on the number of carbon atoms it contains. For example, a chain with 6 carbon atoms is called "hexene", 8 is "octene", 9 is "nonene", and 7 is "heptene".

So, the answer will be one of the options given (hexene, octene, nonene, heptene) based on the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain that includes the carbon-carbon double bond.
