Solution

A saturated hydrocarbon does not participate in a/an addition reaction.

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) contain only single bonds (C – C), making them chemically stable and unable to undergo addition reactions. Instead, they participate in substitution reactions, where one hydrogen atom is replaced by another atom or group.
