Correct Answer: Yellow


Solution : The correct option is Yellow.

Alkenes and alkynes are types of unsaturated hydrocarbons. They are not aromatic. During incomplete combustion of these hydrocarbons, many carbons do not burn, resulting in a yellow flame. Alkanes, on the other hand, are a type of saturated hydrocarbon. They produce a blue-coloured flame during the complete combustion of carbon.
