Solution
The correct option is B n-butane
2CH3−CH2−ClNaDry wtherCH3−CH2−CH2−CH3
It is not preferable to use different alkyl halides because the mixture of products are formed, and hence yield of any product is not significant. Therefore we choose same alkyl halides, and hence alkyl halides with even number of C atoms gives maximum yield.
