Solution

The correct option is C Ni/Pt/Pd and H2(g)
Lindlar catalyst H2/Pd (CaCO3, Quinoline)
Here, the alkyne will undergo partial reduction to form cis-alkene. Both the H atom gets add to the alkyne in same direction to give cis- product.

Reduction of alkyne using Na/liq.NH3 is called Birch reduction. In this H gets add to the triple bond in opposite direction to give trans product.

Addition of H2 to unsaturated hydrocarbon in the presence of catalyst (Ni/Pt/Pd) is called catalytic hydrogenation. This reaction is also called Sabatier Senderens reaction. This reaction goes through a four membered cyclic transition state to give a syn addition of H2.

Baeyer's reagent Alkaline cold dil.KMnO4. This reagent oxides the alkene reactant by syn addition of OH.
It reacts with ethene to form Ethane-1,2-diol (glycol).
