Solution

The correct option is A
CH₃ I

It can be formed by $C H_{3} I$

How?

Lets recall reduction of alkyl halide from videos.

$C H_{3} l + 2 H Z n / H c l - --- \to C H_{4} + H l$

and,

$C H_{3} l + 2 N a + l C H_{3} D r y - -- \to e t h e r C H_{3} - C H_{3} + 2 N a l$

$(W u r t z R X^{n})$
