The correct option is D The reagent and the nature of the substrate (an alkyl halide) should have tipped you off regarding the named reaction involved - it clearly points to the Wurtz reaction! But the products do seem to be really tempting because we can make a case for each one. In this case though, you will get bicyclo[1.1.0]butane.
