Solution

The unsaturated molecule among the given options is C3H4.

Here's why:

Unsaturated molecules contain double or triple bonds. Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they only contain single bonds.

The general formula for cycloalkanes is CnH2n.

a) C3H6: This could be a cycloalkane (cyclopropane) or an alkene (propene), but it's not unsaturated. b) C8H18: This is an alkane (octane), not a cycloalkane or an unsaturated molecule. c) C3H4: This is an alkyne (propyne), which is an unsaturated molecule. It can't be a cycloalkane because it doesn't fit the general formula (CnH2n). d) C5H12: This is an alkane (pentane), not a cycloalkane or an unsaturated molecule.

So, the answer is c) C3H4.
