Solution
The correct option is D Benzene Industrial preperation of ethyne : CaC2+2H2OΔ⟶Ca(OH)2+C2H2Ethyne Cyclic Polymerisation: The process in which the repeating units are joined together end to end in a cyclic chain.This is the best route for entering aromatic compounds from aliphatic compounds. Ethyne on passing through a red hot iron tube at 873 K undergoes cyclic polymerisation to produce one molecule of benzene.
Three molecules of ethyne polymerise to give benzene.
