An alkyl bromide $(A)$ forms a Grignard reagent which on treatment with water yields $n$-hexane. When $(A)$ is treated with sodium in dry ether,$4,5$-diethyloctane is formed. The structure of $(A)$ is:

  • A
    $CH_3(CH_2)_5Br$
  • B
    $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH(Br)CH_3$
  • C
    $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH(Br)CH_2CH_3$
  • D
    $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2Br$
