Solution

The correct option is B $A=Propane and B = N a_{2} C O_{3}$
Soda Lime Process : Alkanes produced from carboxylic acid by decarboxylation containing one Carbon atom less than the carboxylic acid (reactant).
Decarboxylating Agent:NaOH(Caustic Soda), CaO(Quick lime)
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C O O H + N a O H △ - - \to C a O C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{3} + N a_{2} C O_{3}$
