The correct answer is:
methane
$\underset{\text { chloroform }}{\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}} \frac{6[\mathrm{H}] ; \mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}{\underset{-\mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}}{\mathrm{HCl}}}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { methane }}{\mathrm{CH}_{4}}$
Chloroform on reduction with Zn and HCl gives dichloro methane $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)$.
