Solution
The correct option is ALi/NH3 Alkene can be produced from alkyne by controlled partial hydrogenation reduction. This can be done by any of the following methods: 1. Reduction of alkyne in the presence of Lindlar's catalyst. It forms cis alkene. 2. Birch reduction: reduction of alkyne with Na/Li in liq. ammonia. It forms trans alkene.
