(D) The Wurtz reaction involving a mixture of two different alkyl halides ($R-I$ and $R'-I$) leads to the formation of three alkanes ($R-R$,$R'-R'$,and $R-R'$).$C_2H_5I + 2Na + C_2H_5I \xrightarrow{	ext{Dry Ether}} C_2H_5-C_2H_5 	ext{ (Butane)} + 2NaI$$C_3H_7I + 2Na + C_3H_7I \xrightarrow{	ext{Dry Ether}} C_3H_7-C_3H_7 	ext{ (Hexane)} + 2NaI$$C_2H_5I + 2Na + C_3H_7I \xrightarrow{	ext{Dry Ether}} C_2H_5-C_3H_7 	ext{ (Pentane)} + 2NaI$Thus,a mixture of three alkanes is formed.
