Paragraph: p-amino-N, N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of X . The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of Y to yield blue colouration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of the aqueous solution of Y with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves an excess addition of th

Correct answer
B. Fe [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]
Step-by-step solution
p -amino- N , N-dimethylaniline reacts with sulphide ion ( S ²⁻ ) in presence of Fe ³⁺ ion to form blue coloured solution of methylene blue :
