Identifying unknown compounds

A hydrocarbon A (C6H10) burned a yellow, almost non-smokey flame. On catalytic hydrogenation over platinum catalyst it absorbed 1 mol of hydrogen to form compound B it also decolorized a Br2-CH2CL2 solution to yield a dibromo derivative C. Ozonolysis of the hydrocarbon gave only one compound D. Compound D gave a positive iodoform test when treated with iodine-sodium hydroxide solution. On treatment of coumpound D with an alcohol solution of silver ammonium hydroxide, a silver mirror was formed within a few minutes.

Identify the hydrocarbon A and compounds B - D.


Thank you.
