Explanation
An unsaturated hydrocarbon contains at least one carbon–carbon double or triple bond. A saturated hydrocarbon has only single carbon–carbon bonds. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen, so statements about oxygen–oxygen bonds or multiple hydrogen–hydrogen bonds do not define this class.
