Solution

The correct option is B C2H4,CH4
Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase and is irreversible. The reaction is:

3C2H6460oC−−2C2H4+2CH4+H2
Hence option C is correct.
