(D) This is $Kolbe's$ electrolytic method which produces alkanes. $2 RCOONa + 2 H_2O \xrightarrow{	ext{Electrolysis}} R-R + 2 NaOH + H_2 + 2 CO_2$ Steps of reaction: $2 CH_3COONa ightleftharpoons 2 CH_3COO^{-} + 2 Na^{+}$ $2 H_2O ightleftharpoons 2 OH^{-} + 2 H^{+}$ At anode: $2 CH_3COO^{-} - 2 e^{-}$ $ightarrow [2 CH_3COO]$ $ightarrow CH_3-CH_3 + 2 CO_2$ At cathode: $2 H^{+} + 2 e^{-}$ $ightarrow [2 H]$ $ightarrow H_2$
