Answer:

3-heptyne

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we're talking about an elimination chemical reaction wherein the strong base promotes the elimination of both chlorine and hydrogen atoms bonded to the third and fourth carbons in the 3,4-dichloroheptane to form 3-heptyne as shown on the attached picture.
