Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For option (B) :

C2H5MgBr performs addition reaction with - C ≡\equiv N.
C2H5MgBr performs substitution reaction with ester -COOCH3.

Conjugated dienes (two double bonds separated by a single bond) gives Br water test. Either 1-2 or 1-4 addition can happen.

For option (C) :

C2H5MgBr reacts with -OH group and creates alkane C2H6.

As here C = C present, so this compound gives Br water tests.
