Solution

The correct option is A C6H5CONH2


According to the reactions given for compound B, B should be aniline as it gives carbylamine test and also couples with phenol to form dye.

The action of Br2 and KOH is Hoffmann bromamide reaction in which aniline is formed.

Therefore, A should be an amide.

Thus, A is C6H5CONH2.

Option B is correct.
