Options
substitution

Solution
A saturated hydrocarbon does not participate in a/an addition reaction.
Explanation:
Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) contain only single bonds (\[\ce{C - C}\]), 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.
