Solution

The correct option is C Tetraethyl lead
When we treat ethyl bromide with lead sodium alloy we get tetra ethyl lead [TEL]

$4 N a P b + 4 C H_{3} C H_{2} B r ⟶ ↑ T e t r a e t h y l l e a d (C H_{3} C H_{2})_{4} P b + 4 N a C l + 3 P b$

TEL is used to increase their efficiency and performance.
