Solution
The correct option is C free radical addition Alkynes in the presence of Lindlars catalyst, sodium free radical in liquid ammonia reduces to trans- alkenes. Here the neutral sodium is the radical having one electron on it, and the hydrogen is added in trans on the alkenes, they are called as the free radical addition reactions.
