Solution
The correct option is A Aryl amines react with nitrous acid to produce phenols Primary amines are those amines whose one hydrogen is substituted by some other groups like CH3 , CH3CH2 etc or those amines which have one C−N bond present in them. Example:
H3C−NH2,H3C−CH2−NH2
Aryl amines (if it is primary) on reaction with nitrous acid gives diazonium salt.
