Solution

The correct options are
A Sodium ethanoate
B Aluminium carbide
C Iodomethane
$∙$ Methane can be prepared by hydrolysis of alkyl magnesium bromide with alkyl group as methyl group.

$∙$ Methane can not be prepared by wurtz reaction because product formed in wurtz reaction has a minimum of two carbons.

$∙$ Methane can be prepared from decarboxylation of sodium ethanoate.

$∙$ Methane is an aliphatic hydrocarbon and friedel-crafts reaction is used for aromatic compounds. So, methane can't be prepared by friedel crafts reaction.

Hence, Option "A" & "C" are correct answers.
