Solution

The correct options are
C W and Z are 4methylaniline and 1,3dinitrobenzene respectively
D if the original mixture also contains 4 aminobenzoic acid, it will be present in the filtrate of Step 1.
W is water-insoluble 4−methylaniline, a base. It reacts with aq HCl to form hydrochloride salt which is water soluble and goes into the filtrate. Neutralization with aq NaOH regenerates free base 4−methylaniline.
Z is 1,3−dinitrobenzene, a neutral compound. Hence, it neither dissolves in aq. HCl, nor in aq. NaHCO3, nor in aq. NaOH and is found in a final residue.
If the original mixture also contains 4 aminobenzoic acid, it will be present in the filtrate of Step 1.
4 aminobenzoic acid will react with aq. HCl to form hydrochloride salt which is water soluble and goes into the filtrate.
