B. `C_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)`
C. `(CH_(3))_(3)N`
D. `CH_(3)NH_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Trimethyl amine is formed when ethyltrimethyl ammonium iodide is treated with silver hydroxide and further heated strongly. ltbgt `[CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(N)-CH_(2)CH_(3)]^(+) I^(-) + AgOH overset(Delta)(to) (CH_(3))_(3) N`
