Solution

The correct option is B Wolff-Kishner reaction
Wolff-Kishner reaction involves the conversion of carbonyl group of aldehyde and ketones to methylene group by heating their hydrazones, semicarbazones or azines in the presence of strong base such as C2H5ONa or NaOH. In this reaction, number of carbon atoms remain the same as in reactant and product.
