Solution

The correct option is A silver acetylide
Silver acetylide is fomed, when the acetylene reacts with ammoniacal $A g N O_{3}$ .
$C_{2} H_{2} + 2 A g N O_{3} + 2 N H_{4} O H ⟶ C_{2} A g_{2} + 2 N H_{4} N O_{3} + 2 H_{2} O$
It is called Tollen's Test. The silver acetylide forms a white ppt. This test is used to determine the presence of a triple-bond in hydrocarbons.
