Solution

The correct option is A
(a)Butyne-1

We know about addition of Halogens.

Addition of Halogen: Alkyne on reaction with bromine water solution or solution of $B r_{2}$ in $C C l_{4}$ gives alkyne tetrabromide and the colour of solution disappears.

Since the molecule takes 2 moles of $B r_{2}$ . Therefore it is alkyne. Also it gives white ppt with Tollen's reagent therefore acidic H is present. Hence it is 1- Butyne.
