D. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Step-by-step solution
Diethyl amine is a secondary amine and ethyl amine is a primary amine. Primary amines give the carbylamine test with CHCl₃ and KOH on heating, while secondary amines do not. Thus, A matches with II. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde and acetone is a ketone. Aldehydes reduce ammoniacal silver nitrate (Tollens' reagent) to form a silver mirror, while ketones do not. Thus, B matches with IV. Phenol reacts with neutral FeCl₃ to form a violet-colored complex, whereas ethanol does not react. Thus, C matches with III. Cinnamic
