Solution

The correct option is D BrCH2CH2CH2CH3 and CH3CH2CCH
Higher alkynes are prepared from terminal alkynes.
By treating terminal alkyne with sodium metal at high temperature or with sodamide (NaNH2) will result in the formation of its sodium salt.
The carbanion formed is a good nucleophile and can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with 1oor 2o alkyl halides to produce an alkyne.
(a)
CH3CH2CCH+BrCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3CH3CH2CCCH2CH23nonyneCH2CH2CH3
(b)
CH3CH2CCH+BrCH2CH2CH3CH3CH2CCCH2CH2CH3
(c)
CH3CCH+BrCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3CH3CCCH2CH22octyneCH2CH2CH3
(d)
CH3CH2CCH+BrCH2CH2CH2CH3CH3CH2CCCH2CH23octyneCH2CH3
Thus, reactants of option (d) gives 3-Octyne.
