Solution

The correct option is A $n C O + 2 n H_{2} \to n C H_{3} O H$
Fischer-Tropsch process converts a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas into liquid hydrocarbons.
The reaction $n C O + 2 n H_{2} \to n C H_{3} O H$ represented by option A does not correspond to the preparation of "synthetic gasoline" during the Fischer-Tropsch process. In reaction of option A, the product is methanol which is an alcohol and not a hydrocarbon.
