Correct answer: D

  1. Principle of carbylamine test

    The carbylamine test is given only by primary amines (both aliphatic and aromatic) when heated with chloroform and alcoholic KOH.

    RNH2+CHCl3+3KOH→RNC+3KCl+3H2O\mathrm{RNH_2 + CHCl_3 + 3KOH \rightarrow RNC + 3KCl + 3H_2O}RNH2​+CHCl3​+3KOH→RNC+3KCl+3H2​O

    The foul-smelling isocyanide formed confirms a primary amine.

  2. Check each given amine

    From the question, the listed amines include:

    • B. (CH3)2NH\left(\mathrm{CH_3}\right)_2\mathrm{NH}(CH3​)2​NH = dimethylamine = secondary amine
    • C. CH3NH2\mathrm{CH_3NH_2}CH3​NH2​ = methylamine = primary amine
    • D. (CH3)3N\left(\mathrm{CH_3}\right)_3\mathrm{N}(CH3​)3​N = trimethylamine = tertiary amine

    The missing species corresponding to option sets is evidently A, which must be another primary amine, because the answer choices refer to combinations including A.

  3. Apply the test

    • A: primary amine ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ positive
    • B: secondary amine ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ negative
    • C: primary amine ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ positive
    • D: tertiary amine ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ negative
  4. Correct combination

    Therefore, the amines showing positive carbylamine test are:

    A and C\boxed{A \text{ and } C}A and C​

  5. Match with given options

    Option D says: A and C Only.

    Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
