Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the likely reaction sequence

    The reagent set contains:

    • HNO2\mathrm{HNO_2}HNO2​ : used for diazotization of a primary aromatic amine
    • KI\mathrm{KI}KI : replaces diazonium group by iodine
    • Fe/H+\mathrm{Fe/H^+}Fe/H+ : reduces a nitro group (−NO2)(-\mathrm{NO_2})(−NO2​) to amine (−NH2)(-\mathrm{NH_2})(−NH2​)
    • H2O/H+\mathrm{H_2O/H^+}H2​O/H+ or warm water: hydrolysis of diazonium salt to phenol

    So the sequence must involve:

    • converting an −NH2-\mathrm{NH_2}−NH2​ into diazonium,
    • replacing it with −I-\mathrm{I}−I,
    • reducing another −NO2-\mathrm{NO_2}−NO2​ to −NH2-\mathrm{NH_2}−NH2​,
    • diazotizing again,
    • then hydrolyzing to −OH-\mathrm{OH}−OH.
  2. Construct the logical order

    Suppose the starting compound contains both an amino group and a nitro group on benzene.

    • First, the existing −NH2-\mathrm{NH_2}−NH2​ is treated with HNO2\mathrm{HNO_2}HNO2​ to form diazonium salt.
    • Then KI\mathrm{KI}KI substitutes the diazonium group by −I-\mathrm{I}−I.
    • Next, the remaining −NO2-\mathrm{NO_2}−NO2​ group is reduced by Fe/H+\mathrm{Fe/H^+}Fe/H+ to −NH2-\mathrm{NH_2}−NH2​.
    • Then this newly formed amine is diazotized again using HNO2\mathrm{HNO_2}HNO2​.
    • Finally, warming with water converts diazonium salt to phenol.

    Thus the order is: HNO2  →  KI  →  Fe/H+  →  HNO2  →  H2O/warm\mathrm{HNO_2} \;\to\; \mathrm{KI} \;\to\; \mathrm{Fe/H^+} \;\to\; \mathrm{HNO_2} \;\to\; \mathrm{H_2O/warm}HNO2​→KI→Fe/H+→HNO2​→H2​O/warm

  3. Match with options

    • A: HNO2,Fe/H+,HNO2,KI,H2O/H+\mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{Fe/H^+}, \mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{KI}, \mathrm{H_2O/H^+}HNO2​,Fe/H+,HNO2​,KI,H2​O/H+
      Wrong, because reduction should not come before replacing the first diazonium by iodine.

    • B: HNO2,KI,Fe/H+,HNO2,H2O/warm\mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{KI}, \mathrm{Fe/H^+}, \mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{H_2O/warm}HNO2​,KI,Fe/H+,HNO2​,H2​O/warm
      Correct.

    • C: HNO2,KI,HNO2,Fe/H+,H2O/H+\mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{KI}, \mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{Fe/H^+}, \mathrm{H_2O/H^+}HNO2​,KI,HNO2​,Fe/H+,H2​O/H+
      Wrong, because diazotization cannot occur before reducing −NO2-\mathrm{NO_2}−NO2​ to −NH2-\mathrm{NH_2}−NH2​.

    • D: HNO2,Fe/H+,KI,HNO2,H2O/warm\mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{Fe/H^+}, \mathrm{KI}, \mathrm{HNO_2}, \mathrm{H_2O/warm}HNO2​,Fe/H+,KI,HNO2​,H2​O/warm
      Wrong, for the same reason as A.

  4. Final answer

    The correct sequential order is: HNO2, KI, Fe/H+, HNO2, H2O/warm\boxed{\mathrm{HNO_2},\ \mathrm{KI},\ \mathrm{Fe/H^+},\ \mathrm{HNO_2},\ \mathrm{H_2O/warm}}HNO2​, KI, Fe/H+, HNO2​, H2​O/warm​

    So, Option B is correct.
