Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{I}, \mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Alkyl halides can be reduced to hydrocarbons by means of \(\mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Cu}\) couple in presence of alcohol.
