• A. Sulphite and cyanide
• B. Thiocyanate
• C. Cyanide and sulphide
• D. Nitrate and sulphide

Answer 1

The correct option is B Thiocyanate

If $N$ is present:
$Na+C+N\to NaCN$

Metallic fusion from organic compound sodium cyanide
If $S$ is present:
$2Na+S\to N{a}_{2}S$ (sodium sulphide)

If both $N$ and $S$ are present:
$Na+C+N+S\to NaSCN$
From organic compound sodium thioocyanate

Option B is correct.
