Solution

The correct option is C N2H4, KOH/Δ
1. H2/Pt reduce carnobyl to alcohols (Catalytic hydrogenation).
2. LiAlH4 is strong reducing agent. It will reduce carbonyl to alcohols.
3. N2H4, KOH/Δ is the reagent of Wolff-Kishner reduction. It will reduce carbonyl to hydrocarbons.
4. K2Cr2O7H2SO4 is a strong oxidising agent. It will oxidise carbonyls to carboxylic acid.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
