Correct Answer

(A) Wurtz reaction; \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} \xrightarrow{2 \mathrm{Na} / \text { dry ether }} \\ & \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3+2 \mathrm{NaBr} \\ & \end{aligned} \] This reaction is known as wurtz reaction.
