Answer: B
Phenol is converted into benzene by heating with zinc dust.
Zinc dust removes the oxygen of the phenolic group: C6H5OH + Zn → C6H6 + ZnO.
Sodium amalgam, LiAlH4 and NaBH4 are reducing agents for other groups (carbonyl compounds, for example) and do not remove a phenolic –OH. Cr2O3 is a catalyst for aromatisation, not a reagent for this conversion.
