Solution

The correct option is D Ammonical silver nitrate
Only terminal alkynes (but-1-yne) react with ammonical solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3).
(iii) CH3CH2CCH+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3CH3CH2CCAg+white ppt
Rest other compounds do not react with ammonical solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3).
(i) CH3CCCH3+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3No reaction
(ii) CH3CH2CH2CH3+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3No reaction
(iv) CH3CH=CH2+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3No reaction
Hence, correct option is d.
