Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O H$
When propanoic acid is reacted with liq.ammonia it gives 1-amino propanone and water as a byproduct
1-amino propanone is reacted with bromine in presence of potassium hydroxide, Hofmann bromamide reaction takes place which gives ethylamine as a product.
Thus Propanoic acid ( $C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O H$ ) is the correct answer.
