Solution
The correct option is C NaNO2 with HCl forms nitrous acid which gives nitrosonium ion. Amines reacts with nitrosonium ion to form diazonium salt.
Thus, aniline with NaNO2/HCl gives benzene diazonium salt.
Cumene with benzene diazonium salt undergoes coupling reaction at para position to −N(CH3)2 due to less steric hindrance.
