Solution

The correct option is A cold dilute alkaline ${K M n O}_{4}$
Ethylene reacts with alkaline ${K M n O}_{4}$ solution and glycol(ethane-1,2-diol) forms as a product.

In this reaction, the pink colour of ${K M n O}_{4}$ disappears and turns into brown colour and this reaction is used for testing of unsaturation.

Hence, option B is correct.
