I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The compound below is an example of one type of terpene which is a naturally occurring, branched-chain alkene. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The given structure is of a branched alkene

Branching means : there are alkyl groups attached on a straight chain of hydrocarbon

alkene : the hydrocarbons which contain atleast one double bond

terpenes are obtained from nature thus it can be defined as a naturally occurring, branched-chain alkene
