The addition takes places in (b) carbon compound having molecular formula c3h6
because (b) carbon compounds is unsaturated carbon compound hence addition reaction places in unsaturated
example =C3H6+H2------->C3H8
The vegetable oil means unsaturated hydrocarbons when it reacts with Hydrogen it forms vegetable ghee which is saturated hydrocarbon

Answer:

(a) C3H6 will show addition reaction as it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

(b) C3H6 reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to give ethane on adding one molecule of  hydrogen across carbon-carbon bond.

C3H6 + H2 → C3H8

Vegetable oil reacts with hydrogen in presence of Ni as a catalyst to form vegetable ghee which is a  saturated compound.
