Solution

The correct option is C Halogen
A clean copper wire coiled at one end is heated on a Bunsen flame until it does not impart any colour to the flame. The wire is then dipped in organic compound and ignited. Compound burning with green edge flame indicates the presence of halogen. This test is called Beilstein test.
