Solution
The correct option is B Clemmensen reduction
In both Wolff-Kishner and Clemmensen reaction, carbonyl is reduced to hydrocarbon.
Quaternary ammonium ion shown below would undergo a Hoffmann elimination reaction under the basic conditions required for thr Wolff-Kishner reduction, but it would be inert to the acidic conditions of the Clemmensen reduction.
Hence, (b) is correct.
