View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
(i)  SOCl2  (ii)  KCN  (iii)H2/Ni,Na(Hg)/C2H5OH({\text{i}})\,\,SOC{l_2}\,\,({\text{ii}})\,\,KCN\,\,({\text{iii}}){H_2}/Ni,Na(Hg)/{C_2}{H_5}OH
Option A ((i) SOCl2 (ii) KCN (iii)H2/Ni,Na(Hg)/C2H5OH)(({\text{i}})\,SOC{l_2}\,({\text{ii}})\,KCN\,({\text{iii}}){H_2}/Ni,Na(Hg)/{C_2}{H_5}OH) is correct because it outlines the correct sequence of reactions: converting the alcohol to an alkyl chloride using SOCl2, followed by nucleophilic substitution with KCN to form a nitrile, and finally reduction of the nitrile to an amine using H2/Ni or Na(Hg)/C2H5OH.
