Solution

The correct option is D $C_{6} H_{5} N_{2}^{+} X^{-}$
Aliphatic amines do not give diazo compounds. The most stable diazonium salt is $C_{6} H_{5} N_{2}^{+} X^{-}$ . Diazonium salt containing aryl group directly linked to the nitrogen atom is most stable due to resonance stabilization between the benzene nucleus and N-atom.
