Solution

The correct option is B ethyl Iodide
This is an example of a substitution reaction
ethanol in presence of $Z n C l_{2}$ with $H I$ undergoes carbocation formation which undergoes an attack by $I -$ nucleophile to ethyl iodide. $I -$ attacks the substrate since its active concentrated is more n its a stronger nucleophile.
