Solution
The correct option is C p-nitroso - N, N-dimethylaniline In tertiary aromatic amines, there is no N−H bond. Therefore, nitrosoation on Nitrogen atom and salt formation is not possible, instead the aromatic ring is nitrosoated at the para position forming a p-nitroso derivative.
This derivative on reaction with alkali gives parrot green colouration.
