Solution
The correct option is A Ethyl bromide
Magnesium can be reacted with alkyl halides or aryl halides to form Grignard reagents. The organic halide is added to a magnesium suspension in an dry ether solvent. It is important to note that the reagent can be made with alkyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides but not with fluorides. A grignard reagent is an extremely powerful nucleophile and can react with electrophiles like carbonyl compounds.
Hence, the correct answer will be option (a).
