Solution

The correct option is A CH3CH2CH2CH3
By this process, first alkyl halide forms which reduced by LiAlH4 to form alkane and again bromination takes place to give alkyl halide which in presence of Na/dryether forms alkane as product (Wurtz reaction).

CH3CH3Br2/hv−−−CH3CH2BrLiAlH4−−−CH3CH3Br2/hv−−−CH3CH2BrNa/dryether−−−−−−−CH3CH2CH2CH3

Option A is correct.
