Solution
The correct option is A Alc. KOH, ethene, H2/Pd Ist reaction is dehydrohalogenation involves removal of (elimination of) a hydrogen chloride by abstracting β-H from a ethyl chloride in presence of base (alc. KOH) to form ethene. 2nd reaction is hydrogenation of ethene in presence of H2/Pd to give ethane. CH3−CH2−Clalc.KOH−−−−−−→CH2=CH2H2/Pd−−−−→CH3−CH3
