  • A
    \( H_{2} \mid P d-C \)
  • B
    \( \mathrm{Zn} \) in dil. \( \mathrm{HCl} \)
  • C
    \( \mathrm{OH}_{2} \mid \mathrm{Ni} \)
  • Correct answer
    D
    \( \mathrm{Na} \) in liq. \( \mathrm{NH}_{3} \)

Solution

(D)
Birch reduction
\[ =\frac{\mathrm{Na}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\operatorname{liq}_{\mathrm{in}} \mathrm{NH}_{3}}= \]

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
