Answer:

A. Diethyl ether will react with the alkenes that were formed in the experiment.

Explanation:

Ethers such as diethyl ether dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar organic compounds. Nonpolar compounds are generally more soluble in diethyl ether than alcohols because ethers do not have a hydrogen bonding network that must be broken up to dissolve the solute.
