Answer»

CCl2 is rightits a Reimer tiemer reactionthanks

dichlorocarbene it's a right answer because

Generation of chloroform carbanion by deprotonation of chloroform with a strong base.

CHCl3+OH−ightleftharpoonsH2O+:oversetominusCCl3

The chloroform carbanion generated, quickly undergoes alpha elimination to yield dichlorocarbene.
