Solution

The correct option is B Molybdenum oxide
Alkanes on heating with a regulated supply of dioxygen or air at high pressure and in the presence of suitable catalysts give a variety of oxidation products. This process is called controlled oxidation.

$O_{2} + C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{3} M o_{2} O_{3} - --- \to Δ C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H O$
$M n {(O A c)}_{2}$ -manganese acetate oxidise alkanes to carboxylic acids in presence of $O_{2}$ and heat.
$C u$ at high temperature and pressure oxidise alkane to alcohol.
Alkanes does not reacts with $K M n O_{4}$ .

Hence, option (c) is correct.
