Options

A. `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)OH`
B. `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)NH_(2)`
C. `C_(6)H_(5)NHOH`
D. `C_(6)H_(5)NHCH_(2)CH_(3)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Step(1) involves diazotisation step `(2)` is Sandmeyer reaction to yield cyanide step`(3)` involves reduction of cyanide to yield a `1^(@)` amine which reacts with nitrous acid to yield an alcohol
