Solution
The correct option is BCH3CH2C≡CH Answer B.
The organic compound decolorises bromine in CCl4. Hence it is unsaturated compound, that is, it can be either alkene or alkyne.
Since, the given compound gives a precipitate with ammonical cuprous chloride, it should be an alkyne as alkenes do not react with ammonical cuprous chloride.
