A

Acetanilide

B

Benzanilide

C

Azobenzene

D

Hydrazobenzene

Answer

Benzanilide

Explanation

Solution

Nitrobenzene is reduced to aniline when passed through tin and hydrochloric acid . C6H5NO2−>[Sn/HCl]C6H5NH2C _{6} H _{5} NO _{2} {->[ Sn / HCl ]} C _{6} H _{5} NH _{2} Followed by C6H5COClC _{6} H _{5} COCl gives, C6H5NH2−>[C6H5COCl]C6H5NHCOC6H5C _{6} H _{5} NH _{2} {->[ C _{6} H _{5} COCl] }C _{6} H _{5} NHCOC _{6} H _{5}
