The correct option is C diethyl amine
Secondary amines $(- N H$ group containing amines), when reacts with nitrous acid $(H N O_{2})$ , a yellow oily nitroso compound is formed.
Hence, only diethyl amine forms a yellow oily liquid with $H N O_{2}$ .
$(C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N H d i e t h y l a m i n e + H N O_{2} \to (C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N - N = O N - n i t r o s o d i e t h y l a m i n e (y e l l o w o i l y l i q u i d)$
