Answer:
A. MeONa
Explanation:
One of the methods to prepare alkenes are eliminations.
The E2 reaction (for elimination, bimolecular) occurs when an alkyl halide is treated with a strong base, such as hydroxide ion or alkoxide ion (RO⁻).
It is the most common mechanism that occurs for an elimination.
The methoxide ion is a strong base that will attack the neighboring hydrogen of the halide ion and will start removing H⁺ at the same time that the double bond of the alkene begins to form and the group X begins to leave.
Then, the neutral alkene is produced when the C – H link and X group has left with the electron pair of the bond C – X (mechanism in attachment).
Therefore, MeONa would be an appropiate reagent.

Answer to this is O-atom.
Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.
where is the Lewis Acid and
is the Lewis Base and
is the Covalent Bond.
Reaction of dissociation of in
is given as:
In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from forming a Lewis Base.
