Solution

The correct option is D $(C H_{3})_{2} C H - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H (C H_{3})_{2}$
Symmetrical alkane with even number of carbon atoms can be prepared by Wurtz reaction.

Wurtz reaction is the reaction of symmetrical alkyl halide in the presence of Na in dry ethyl ether to give the symmetrical higher alkane as the product.
So, according to the given option the best yield can be obtained is for the symmetrical yield alkane.

Hence , Option B is correct .
