Solution

The correct option is B CH3CH2CCH
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.
The compound is CH3CH2CCH.
