Solution

The correct option is C C2H2
Only alkyne has acidic hydrogen.

As we move from alkane to alkyne, hybridisation of carbon changes from sp3 to sp means s character of orbital increases and as s character increases hydrogen becomes more acidic.

HCCH (C2H2) has acidic hydrogen.

Option C is correct.
