Hydrocarbon`(A)` reacts with bromine by substitution to form an alkyl bromide which by Wurtz reaction is converted to gaseous hydrocarbon containing less than four carbon atoms `(A)` is

Options

A. `CH_(3)-CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(2)=CH_(2)`
C. `CH-=CH`
D. `CH_(4)`

Answer

D

Explanation

`underset((A))(CH_(4))overset(Br_(2)//hv)to underset(CH_(3)-CH_(3)" ")underset({:darr{:("Na/dry ether"),("Wurtz reation"):}:})(CH_(3)Br"
")`
Hence the correct option is (4)
