Solution

The correct option is D tri-halogenated methane and a primary amine
Carbylamine reaction is used for test of primary amines, in this reaction isocyanide forms.

The reaction of the process is:
$C_{6} H_{5} - N H_{2} + C H C l_{3} + 3 K O H \to C_{6} H_{5} N C + 3 K C l + 3 H_{2} O$

Option D is correct.
