Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Aniline diazotizes to benzenediazonium chloride when treated with ice-cold nitrous acid (NaNO2 + HCl at 0-5°C). Aniline is a weak base (not acid), nitration requires protection of the amino group, and the bleaching powder test is for phenols.
