  • A
    Primary amine
  • B
    Secondary amine
  • C

  • Correct answer
    D
    Quaternary ammonium halide

Solution

$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2+\underset{\text { Excess }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{I}} \underset{-\mathrm{HI}}{\longrightarrow}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2\right)_4 \mathrm{~N}^{+} \mathrm{I}^{-}$

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