View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CH3−C∣HCH3∣−C{H_3} - \mathop C\limits_{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} | \\ H \end{array}}^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {C{H_3}} \\ | \end{array}} -
The correct answer is B (CH3−C∣HCH3∣−C{H_3} - \mathop C\limits_{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc}| \\ H \end{array}}^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {C{H_3}} \\ | \end{array}} -) because the given product is formed via a Wurtz reaction, requiring two identical alkyl halides derived from the same alcohol.
