Solution

The correct option is B $C a O$
Preparation of alkane from carboxylic acid by decarboxylation is called sodalime process.
Decarboxylating agent : $N a O H + C a O$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O^{-} N a^{+} N a O H + C a O - ------- \to Heat C H_{3} C H_{3} + N a_{2} C O_{3}$

Hence, option (c) is correct.
