The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Grignard reagents react with proton donors to give hydrocarbons. Step 1: Formation of A. \[ \text{R-X} + \text{Mg} \rightarrow \text{R-MgX} \]
Step 2: Reaction with NH\(_3\). \[ \text{R-MgX} + \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{RH} \]
Step 3: Conclusion. Product is hydrocarbon.
