Both $(A)$ and $(B)$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons and do not react with bromine water or alkaline $KMnO_4$ (Baeyer's reagent).Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons and undergo addition reactions with $Br_2$ in $CCl_4$ (decolorizing the reddish-brown color) and are oxidized by alkaline $KMnO_4$ (Baeyer's test,resulting in the disappearance of the purple color).Therefore,both $(i)$ Baeyer's test and $(ii)$ reaction with $Br_2$ in $CCl_4$ are used to distinguish alkanes from alkenes.
