    C) Acetylene

    D) Ethylene

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[Ca{{C}_{2}}+2\,{{H}_{2}}O\to Ca\,{{\left( OH \right)}_{2}}+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]                    \[CH\equiv CH+2\,[Ag\,{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}]OH\to \] \[Ag\underset{\text{White}\,\text{ppt}\text{.}}{\mathop{-\,C\equiv C-}}\,Ag+4\,N{{H}_{3}}+2\,{{H}_{2}}O\]
