Correct answer: A

  1. Recall what Hinsberg's reagent is

    Hinsberg's reagent is benzenesulphonyl chloride (C6H5SO2Cl)\left(\mathrm{C_6H_5SO_2Cl}\right)(C6​H5​SO2​Cl).

    It reacts with primary and secondary amines:

    • Primary amine →\rightarrow→ forms sulphonamide having one acidic H on nitrogen, hence soluble in alkali.
    • Secondary amine →\rightarrow→ forms sulphonamide without N-H, hence insoluble in alkali.
    • Tertiary amine →\rightarrow→ does not react.
  2. Identify the given species

    From the question text, the visible compounds are:

    • C=CH3NH2\textbf{C} = \mathrm{CH_3NH_2}C=CH3​NH2​, which is a primary amine.
    • D=N(CH3)3\textbf{D} = \mathrm{N(CH_3)_3}D=N(CH3​)3​, which is a tertiary amine.

    Therefore:

    • C\textbf{C}C reacts with Hinsberg's reagent.
    • D\textbf{D}D does not react with Hinsberg's reagent.
  3. Use the options to infer A, B, E

    Since C\textbf{C}C reacts and D\textbf{D}D does not react:

    • Any correct option must include C.
    • Any correct option must exclude D.

    Check options:

    • Option A: A, C and E only
      Includes C, excludes D.
    • Option B: A, B and E only
      Does not include C, so impossible.
    • Option C: C and D only
      Includes D, so impossible.
    • Option D: B and D only
      Includes D and excludes C, so impossible.

    Hence only Option A can be correct.

  4. Conclusion

    The compounds reacting with Hinsberg's reagent are A, C and E only.

    So the correct choice is:

    A\boxed{\text{A}}A​
