Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Carbonyl compounds are reduced to corresponding alkanes with\[(Zn+cone.\text{ }HCl)\]. It is called Clemmensen reduction. \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}.\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ |\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{Zn(Hg)+HCl}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]
