Solution

The correct option is A Nessler's reagent
$H g C l_{2}$ reacts with KI to form $H g I_{2}$ .

$H g C l_{2} + 2 K I \to H g I_{2} + 2 K C l$

As the reaction proceeds, more and more of $H g I_{2}$ is obtained until a maximum value is reached.
Then the mass of $H g I_{2}$ decreases due to formation of $K_{2} H g I_{4}$ .

$H g I_{2} + 2 K I \to K_{2} H g I_{4}$

Species formed after maximum is attained is called Nessler's reagent.
Nessler's reagent is used to idntify $N H_{4}^{+}$ ions.

$2 K_{2} H g I_{4} + 4 K O H + N H_{4} C l \to H g_{2} N H_{2} O I b r o w n p r e c i p i t a t e + 7 K I + K C l + 3 H_{2} O$

Therefore, option A is correct.
