Reaction of a carbonyl compound with one of the following reagents involves nucleophilic addition followed by elimination of water. The reagent is:

  1. A
    Hydrocyanic acid
  2. B
    Sodium hydrogen sulphite
  3. C
    A Grignard reagent
  4. D
    Hydrazine in presence of feebly acidic solution

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Reagents like hydrazine (), hydroxylamine, or primary amines react with carbonyl compounds via nucleophilic addition to the group followed by the elimination of a water molecule to form a bond (hydrazone, oxime, etc.)., , and Grignard reagents only undergo addition without elimination of water.
