Ethene (C₂H₄) is the first member of the alkene series and is classified as an unsaturated hydrocarbon due to its carbon-carbon double bond. Alkenes like ethene have fewer hydrogen atoms compared to alkanes with the same number of carbon atoms. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D. Unsaturated hydrocarbons.
