Solution

The correct option is D a mixture of benzene and Mg(OMe)Br
Phenyl magnesium bromide is a grignard reagent. The grignard reagent is an organometallic compound. When methanol acts an acid, donates its proton and phenyl magnesium bromide acts as a base, accepts the proton, it is converted into benzene.
Thus, phenyl magnesium bromide reacts with methanol and gives a mixture of benzene and accepts the proton and is conerted into bezene and Mg(OMe)Br. Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
