    Answer: one ring

    Explanation:

    C15H28O2: DU = (2 (m) + 2-n) / 2

    m is the no of Carbon atoms and n is no of Hs in the given Molecular Forumla.

    DU=2 (15) + 2-28/2 = 32-28/2=2

    It mentioned that it has one double bond and it corresponds to one DU.

    And remaining one DU corresponds to one ring
