Solution

The correct option is B Ethylene
We can get acetic acid, petrol additives (Ethanol) and ethylene di-bromide
from Ethylene $(H_{2} C = C H_{2})$
$H_{2} C = C H_{2} H_{3} O - -- \to C H_{3} C H_{2} - O H$ (Ethanol)
$H_{2} C = C H_{2} B r_{2} - -- \to C C L_{4} H_{2} B r | C - C H_{2} | B r$
$H_{2} C = C H_{2} H_{3} O + - --- \to C H_{3} C H_{2} - O H C O_{3} - - \to H^{+} C H_{3} C O O H$
