Solution

The correct option is D magnesium and alkyl halide
Grignard reagent is the organomagnesium halide which is prepared by the reaction of the alkyl halide with the Mg in the presence of dry ether. Dry ether is used as solvent because it stabilizes Grignard reagent. It also keeps the reaction conditions dry and free from moisture.
$R - X + M g E t_{2} O - -- \to R M g X$ (Grignard reagent)

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
