Solution

The correct option is A chloroform
Electrolysis of NaCl solution gives $N a O H$ and $C l_{2}$ since the system contains ethyl alcohol, $N a O H$ , and $C l_{2}$

Ethanol in presence of base and chlorine undergoes chloroform reaction,

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + C l_{2} + N a O H \to H C O O N a + C H C l_{3} + 5 H C l$

Option B is correct.
