Solution

Given:
1. Compound is optically active ⇒ contains chiral carbon/Nitrogen.
2. Compound liberates N2 gas with HNO2⇒ It is primary amine
3. Compound reacts with PhSO2Cl and the product is soluble in KOH - It is a primary amine.

Option (A) and (D) are primary amines. But only option (D) satisfy all the above conditions.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
