Solution
The correct option is B CH4
In Wurtz reaction, two molecules of same alkyl halides combine (on heating with sodium metal in presence of dry ether as solvent) to produce higher alkanes containing even number of carbon atoms.
It is given that the hydrocarbon formed contains less than four carbon atoms, so it has to be 2.
Hence, the correct option is (4).
