Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Alcohols react with active metals such as sodium to yield corresponding alkoxides and hydrogen.
`2CH_(3)CH_(2)O-H + 2Na rarr 2CH_(3)CH_(2)overset(-)Ooverset(+)Na + H_(2)`
Alcohols are sufficiently acidic to react with the extremely strong bases , `R:^(-)` and `NH_(2)^(-)`.
