Solution

The correct option is C Nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction
The reaction RCHO+NH2NH2RCH=NNH2 is a nucleophilic addition-elimination
reaction. First a molecule of hydrazine is added to the carbonyl group. This is a nucleophilic addition reaction.
RCHO+NH2NH2RCH(OH)NHNH2
Then a molecule of water is eliminated. This is an elimination reaction.
RCH(OH)NHNH2RCH=NNH2+H2O
