The given statement is true.
concept - Unsaturated compounds are those that have either at least one double bond or a triple bond. A saturated compound only has single bonds in its structure.
In benzene, six carbon atoms are bonded in the form of a ring structure such that there are alternate single and double bonds. We can draw the structure of benzene as

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with a molecular formula

C_{6} H_{6}

. The benzene molecule consists of six carbon atoms joined in a planar ring, each with one hydrogen atom attached.
Benzene is a cyclic hydrocarbon, that is, each carbon atom in benzene is arranged in a six-membered ring and is bonded to only one hydrogen atom. According to the theory of molecular orbitals, the benzene ring involves the formation of three delocalized π - orbitals involving all six carbon atoms, while the theory of valence bonds describes two stable resonance structures of the ring.
Hence, benzene is a cyclic unsaturated carbon compound.
Thus, the correct option is (1).
