Ethyl chloride is converted to butane by :

AKolbes synthesis
BWilliamson's synthesis
CWurtz reaction
Correct Answer
DGattermann reaction

Solution

Williamson's synthesis: Sodium ethoxide reacts with alkyl halide and ether forms as product.
$$RONa+RX\rightarrow ROR +NaX$$

Wurtz reaction:
$$RX+2Na+RX\rightarrow R-R+2NaX$$

It is clear from above reactions Option C is correct.
