Suprised! yeah the answer is indeed insufficient information
Magnesium Has two carbides Mg2C3 And Mg2C (Its in doubt) but surely Mg2C3 And MgC2 Do exist!
Mg2C3 Belongs to sesquicarbides family which on hydrolysis produce propyne and propadiene
Mg2C Belong to Methanide Family which on hydrolysis produce methane
As We are not given which carbide is being reacted hence The Answer is Information Insufficient
The answer can't be none of these as all the three options are produced on hydrolysis
Even MgC2 on hydrolysis produce acetylene!
Edit- MgC2 Belong to acetylide family
