Solution

The correct option is D C2H4
A compound responds to Baeyer's test but does not give white precipitation when treated with ammonical silver nitrate solution the compound should be ethylene C2H4.

Alkene & alkyne both give positive Baeyer's test but only terminal alkynes, and not alkenes, give positive test with ammonical silver nitrate [Tollen's reagent].
