Solution

The correct option is B Silane
Silane, $S i H_{4}$ is a pyrophoric gas with a similar tetrahedral structure to methane, $C H_{4}$ . When pure, it does not react with pure water or dilute acids; however, even small amounts of alkali impurities from the laboratory glass can result in a rapid hydrolysis.
