  4. Pd/H2

Answer

Alkenes can be converted to alkanes by addition of hydrogen (H2). In a hydrogenation reaction, two hydrogen atoms are added across the double bond of an alkene, resulting in a saturated alkane. The reaction occurs in the presence of a catalyst like nickel, platinum or palladium.

The correct option is D.
