The correct option is A CHCl3
The carbylamine reaction is a chemical test for detection of primary amines. In this reaction, the analyte is heated with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and chloroform. If a primary amine is present, the respective isocyanide is formed, which is a revolting smelling substance.
