Solution

The correct option is D N-ethylbenzenesulphonamide, soluble in alkali
$C_{2} H_{4} N H_{2} C_{6} H_{5} S O_{2} C l - ------ \to C_{6} H_{5} S O_{2} N H C_{2} H_{5}$
Primary amine (ethylamine) react with benzenesulphonyl chloride to form N-ethylbenzenesulphonamide, which is soluble with alkali, through the formation of salt.
