- C

- D

Correct answer
A. 
Step-by-step solution
Cyclohexylmagnesium bromide is a Grignard reagent, which acts as a strong base.
Cyclohexylamine contains active (acidic) hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen atom.
When a Grignard reagent reacts with a compound containing an active hydrogen, an acid-base reaction occurs preferentially. The Grignard reagent abstracts a proton to form the corresponding alkane.
Thus, cyclohexane () is formed as one of the products.
