Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ CH-COOK \\ ||| \\ CH-COOK \\ +2H_2O\xrightarrow{Electrolyisis} $

$ \underset{{}}{\mathop{\underbrace{ CH \\ ||| \\ CH \\ } _{Anode}}}+2CO_2+\underbrace{2KOH+H_2} _{Cathode} $

$ CaC_2+2H_2O\to Ca{{( OH )}_2}+CH\equiv CH $

$ \underset{Br}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{CH_2}}}}-\underset{\underset{Br}{\mathop{|}}}{\mathop{CH_2}}+2KOH\to CH\equiv CH+2KBr+2H_2O $
