Needs to fit the molar ratio as well.
Got to form some equations!

Likely we need an organic compound with multiple double or triple bonds.
C3H6 ==> C3H6Br2
(Basically, three C and eight “slots” for things like H and Br)
C4H6 ==> C4H6Br4
(Basically, four C and ten “slots” for things like H and Br)
C5H8 ==> C5H8Br4
(Basically, five C and twelve “slots” for things like H and Br)
C6H8 ==> C6H8Br6
(You know what to do for this one)

Which one adds three of Br2?
The one with six bromine atoms added.
Which compound has six bromine atoms added?
The one with six bromine atoms added.

The general formula for alkenes, CnH2n, are for standard alkenes with one C=C double bond.
There are alkenes out there with multiple C=C double bonds also. These are said to be polyunsaturated and they do not follow the general formula above.

You are right in saying that option A C3H6 will undergo additional reaction with bromine to form saturated compound (C3H46Br2). However do note that the question says 1 mole of compound reacted with 3 moles of Br2. If answer is A, the question would be 1 mole of compound reacting with 1 mole of Br2
