Solution

The correct option is C benzene diazonium chloride
Hydrolysis of calcium carbide yields ethyne.
CaC2+2H2OC2H2+Ca(OH)2

Now, in the presence of red hot copper tube, 3 molecules of ethyne polymerize to give benzene.
3C2H2 + red hot Cu tube C6H6 (benzene)

In the presence of HNO3H2SO4, nitration of benzene occurs (electrophilic aromatic substitution) and nitrobenzene is formed.
C6H6+HNO3H2SO4C6H5NO2 (nitrobenzene)

In the presence of FeHCl, nitrobenzene reduces to aniline.
C6H5NO2+FeHClC6H5NH2 (aniline)

Aniline on reaction with NaNO2HCl gives benzene diazonium chloride.
C6H5NH2+NaNO2HClC6H5N+2Cl

The complete reaction sequence is as follows:

CaC2Hydrolysis−−−−−C2H2Redhot−−−CutubeC6H6HNO3H2SO4−−−−−−−−50600CC6H5NO2Fe+HCl−−−−C6H5NH2

NaNO2+HCl,0oC−−−−−−−−−−C6H5N+2Cl

Therefore, E is benzene diazonium chloride.
