Solution

The correct option is B C2H6 and C2H4 mixture

HCCH+CuClHCCoCl

Alkynes react with alkaline CuCl forming a precipitate. While alkanes and alkenes are inert to reactions with CHCl. As a result when the mixture is bubbled through the solution, ethyne C2H2 is absorbed and gas coming out contains ethane C2H6 and ethene C2H4
