Correct answer
Daii, biv, ci, diii

Step-by-step explanation

aii Sand Meyer reaction

biv Gatterman reaction

ci Wurtz reaction

diii Fittig reaction

The Wurtz reaction is a very useful reaction in the fields of organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry for the formation of alkanes.

In this reaction, two different alkyl halides are coupled to yield a longer alkane chain with the help of sodium and dry ether solution.
