Solution

The correct option is D $N C l_{3}$ and $H C l$
When ammonia is in excess, nitrogen is formed. With an excess of chlorine, nitrogen chloride (an explosive substance) is obtained.
$8 N H_{3} (e x c e s s) + 3 C l_{2} \to 6 N H_{4} C l + N_{2}$
$N H_{3} + 3 C l_{2} (e x c e s s) \to N C l_{3} + 3 H C l$
