The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Diazo Coupling:** - Diazo coupling is a chemical reaction where diazonium salts react with aromatic compounds to form azo compounds. - Azo compounds are characterized by the presence of a functional group with the structure R-N=N-R', where R and R' are typically aromatic groups. 2. **Identifying the Products of Diazo Coupling:** - The primary products of diazo coupling are colored azo compounds. - These azo compounds are widely used in various applications, particularly in the dye industry. 3. **Analyzing the Options Given:** - Option A: Pesticides - While some pesticides may contain azo compounds, diazo coupling is not primarily used for their synthesis. - Option B: Dyes - This is the most relevant option, as diazo coupling is specifically known for producing azo dyes. - Option C: Proteins - Proteins are biological macromolecules and are not synthesized through diazo coupling. - Option D: Vitamins - Similar to proteins, vitamins are organic compounds that do not involve diazo coupling in their synthesis. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the understanding of diazo coupling and its applications, the correct answer to the question is **Option B: Dyes**.
