Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
When a ammonia acts as the nucleophile, a primary amine is generated.
RX+NH3RNH2+HX 1oAmine 2oAmine
When a primary and secondary amine acts as the nucleophile, a secondary and tertiary amine is generated respectively.
RX+RNH2RNHR+HX 1oAmine 2oAmine
RX+RR′′NHRNRR′′+HX 2oAmine 3oAmine
Hence option (d) is correct.
