Solution

The correct option is D CH4
Amine contains acidic hydrogen and grignard reagent acts as strong base.
Grignard reagent being basic in nature will accept H+ from NH3 and forms CH4 and H2NMgBr
General reaction:
RMgX+NH3Dry Ether−−−−−RH+MgX(NH2)
Mechanism:

For the given reaction:
CH3MgBr+NH3Dry ether−−−−CH4+H2NMgBr(Grignard reagent)
Hence correct option is d.
