The correct answer is:
acetylene
Chloroform, $\mathrm{CHCl}_3$, when warmed with silver powder, gives acetylene.
$2 \mathrm{CHCl}_3+6 \mathrm{Ag} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \underset{\text { acetylene }}{\mathrm{CH} \equiv \mathrm{CH}+6 \mathrm{AgCl}}$
$2 \mathrm{CHCl}_3+6 \mathrm{Ag} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \underset{\text { acetylene }}{\mathrm{CH} \equiv \mathrm{CH}+6 \mathrm{AgCl}}$
