Solution

The correct option is C ${A l}_{4} C_{3}$
Aluminium carbide on hydrolysis produces methane, and aluminium hydroxide.
$A l_{4} C_{3} + 12 H_{2} O \to 4 A l (O H)_{3} + 3 C H_{4}$
Hydrolysis is a reaction that takes place between a substance and water, as a result of which the substance and water break down, and new compounds form.
