Solution

The correct option is A primary amine
Hydrolysis of alkyl isocyanide yields primary amine. This hydrolysis is carried in the presence of dilute mineral acid $(H_{2} S O_{4} o r H C l)$ . Alkali is not used for this purpose.
$C H_{3} N = C + 2 H_{2} O \to H^{+} C H_{3} - N H_{2} + H C O O H$
