Solution

The correct option is B $N H_{2} - N H_{2} / O H^{-}$
Both $Z n (H g) / H C l$ and $N H_{2} - N H_{2} / O H^{-}$ can reduce $- C O C H_{3}$ group to $- C H_{2} - C H_{3}$ but $H C l$ will also bring about the replacement of $^{'} O H^{'}$ group by $^{'} C l^{'}$ . Therefore, the most appropriate reagent is $N H_{2} - N H_{2} / O H^{-}$ .
