The correct answer is: H2, Pd/C, quinoline

(i) Na/ Liquid NH3 (Birch reduction) it reduces non-terminal alkynes into alkene (trans/anti addition)

(ii) H2/Pd-C, quinoline (lindlar catalyst) reduces alkyne into alkene by syn addition. This will give the required product.

(iii) Zn/HCl is Clemmensen reduction which reduced carbonyl into an alkene.

(iv) Hg+2/H,H2O is an electrophilic addition reaction, which converts alkyne into ketone.
