Solution

The correct option is C NaOH+Br2
We need to convert CH3CONH2 to CH3NH2.

First, we observe that the product contains a CO group less than the reactant.

Now we note that to remove a CO group, Hoffmann bromamide reaction is used. In this reaction, we use bromine and NaOH

CH3CONH2+Br2+NaOHCH3NH2

So, C is the correct answer.
