The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: The reagents $Mo_2O_3$ at high temperature and pressure are typically used for the hydrogenation or aromatization of hydrocarbons.
Step 2: In the presence of hydrogen (often implied in these industrial catalyst conditions) or via rearrangement/stabilization, the alkene 3-methylbut-1-ene is reduced to the corresponding alkane.
Step 3: The alkane formed from this carbon skeleton is 2-methylbutane (isopentane).
