  2. BA and B only
  3. CB and D only
  4. DA and C only

Correct answer

C. B and D only

Step-by-step solution

Let us analyze each reaction to determine the major product: Reaction A: Benzonitrile ( C₆H₅CN ) is reduced by LiAlH₄ , a strong reducing agent, to form benzylamine. C₆H₅CN LiAlH₄ C₆H₅CH₂NH₂ Reaction B: Benzamide ( C₆H₅CONH₂ ) undergoes Hoffmann bromamide degradation in the presence of KOH and Br₂ to form aniline. C₆H₅CONH₂ KOH, Br₂ C₆H₅NH₂ Reaction C: Nitrobenzene ( C₆H₅NO₂ ) is not reduced to aniline by NaBH₄ . NaBH₄ is a mild reducing agent and generally does not reduce the -NO₂ group. Reaction D: Acetanilide (
