The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: $CO_2$ Presence
Production of $CO_{2}$ indicates the presence of carbon in the compound.
Step 2: Absence of Water

Lack of water ($H_{2}O$) production indicates the compound contains no hydrogen.
Step 3: Identification

Among the options, carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_{4}$) contains carbon but no hydrogen. Chloroform ($CHCl_{3}$), methane ($CH_{4}$), and ethyl iodide ($C_{2}H_{5}I$) all contain hydrogen.
Final Answer: (a)
