The major product of the following reaction is

Correct answer
A
B
C
D

Solution

The given reaction is an example of Wolff-Kishner reduction. Wolff-Kishner reduction mechanism begins with the formation of a hydrazone anion which then releases the nitrogen molecule to form a carbanion. This carbanion then reacts with the water in the system to give a hydrocarbon. Typically, diethylene glycol is used as a solvent for this method.

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