    The compound that would be most reactive is Ethyne (answer A)

    explanation

    Ethyne is the most unsaturated among the four compounds (it has a triple bond between the two carbon atoms).

    The triple bond in ethyne is made up of 1 sigma bond and 2π bond. The 2π bond are weaker and can easily break which make Ethyne more reactive than Ethene, methane and Ethane.
