The correct option is B liq. $B r_{2}$
Liquid bromine is reddish-brown in colour. When ethyne gas is passed through it, ethyne reacts with liquid bromine and the solution turns colourless. Any unsaturated compound like alkene or alkyne, when passed through liquid bromine, make the solution colourless.
