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 $C_{2} H_{5} O N a$ or $N a O H$ . In this reaction, number of carbon atoms remain the same as in reactant and product.
