The correct answer is: c only

We have to know that a Saytzeff product is basically an alkene compound which has undergone many substitution reactions to form the alkene product. From Saytzeff rule, a stable alkene is formed when removal of hydrogen from beta carbon has a low number of hydrogen atoms.
