C and D are Alkenes - they have double bonds
Alkynes have triple bonds, and none are shown, so there are no alkynes.
Does hexagon shape in E mean a benzene ring? If so, that's methyl benzene, or toluene, an aromatic.
ADDED: Since double bond locations were shown in C and D, assumed that there were none in A and that it was cyclohexane, an alkane. Could be hexene - can't tell from empirical formula, but I would say cyclohexane is more likely based on the way C and D are given.
