Solution

The correct option is B CH3CH2C|CH3HCH2CH3
CH3 CH3
CH3CH||C|CH2CH3+ZnCH3CH=|CCH2CH3+ZnBr2
Br Br HI/Red P
CH3CH2CH|CH2CH3
CH3
3-Methyl pentane

Zn brings dehalogenation of 2,3dibromo3methylpentane to give 3methylpent2ene which undergoes reduction to get the corresponding alkane on treating with HI/P .
