Solution

The correct option is D PCl5 and KOH(alc)
A and B in this sequence of reactions are PCl5 and KOH(alc).

CH3CH2OHPCl5(A)−−−−CH3CH2Clalc.KOH(B)−−−−−−CH2=CH2

Ethanol reacts with PCl5 to give ethyl chloride. Ethyl chloride on heating with alcoholic potash undergoes dehydrohalogenation to give ethene.

Hence the correct option is D.
