Solution

The correct option is D $Z n - H g / C o n c . H C l$
$Z n - H g$ / Conc. $H C l$ is used to convert carbonyl compound to corresponding alkane.

$C H_{3} C O C H_{3} + Z n - H g$ / Conc. $H C l$ $\to$ $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$ $+ Z n - H g$ / Conc. $H C l$ $\to$ $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{3}$

Option D is correct.
