Solution

The correct option is C Sabatier-Senderens reaction
Catalytic hydrogenation of alkene by addition of H2 with catalyst Ni/Pt/Pd to prepare alkane is known as Sabatier-Senderens reaction.
Here, the reducing agent is H2(g).
RCH=CH2+H2NiRCH2CH3

In Kolbe's electrolysis, the alkane is prepared from salts of dicarboxylic acid by decarboxylation.
RCOONa+RCOONa+H2OElectrolysisRR+2NaOH+2CO2+H2

In Wurtz reaction, alkane is prepared by reducing alkyl halide using Na in dry ether reagent.
RX+2Na+XRdry etherRR+2NaX

Thus, the correct answer is (c).
