$Option C, n-butane$ $"Option C, n-butane"$

Explanation:

Grignard reagents feature a highly nucleophilic carbon centre, almost a carbanion, $H_{3} C - H_{2} C - H_{2} C - H_{2} C^{δ -} {M g I}^{δ +}$ $H_3C-H_2C-H_2C-H_2C^(delta-){MgI}^(delta+)$ .

This will react with almost any electrophile, including the proton of water.

Thus: $R - M g X + H_{2} O \to R - H + M g X O H$ $R-MgX + H_2O rarr R-H + MgXOH$

If you wanted to label an alkane with deuterium, this would be a good way to go about it, by using deuterium oxide, $D_{2} O$ $D_2O$ , where $D =^{2} H$ $D=""^2H$ .

$R - M g X + D_{2} O \to R - D + M g X O D$ $R-MgX + D_2O rarr R-D + MgXOD$ .

So here you have the $d_{1} - alkane$ $d_1-"alkane"$ easily, and it's much cheaper than buying it.
