The reaction sequence involves the conversion of alkane to alkene, which is then halogenated with bromine in the presence of light to form a vicinal dibromide. This dibromide is then treated with sodium methoxide in methanol, which results in the elimination of two bromine atoms and the formation of an alkene. In this case, the product alkene is a cyclic alkene, which is formed by the elimination of the bromine atoms from adjacent carbons. The only option that represents a cyclic alkene is option C.
