TestHub · Accepted Answer

Information (1) indicates that compound has a carbonyl $(\begin{matrix} O \\ | | \\ - & C & - \end{matrix})$ group.
Information (2) indicates that compound has a methyl ketone $(C H_{3} — \overset{O}{\overset{| |}{C}} —)$ group.
Information (3) indicates that it is 3° amine and not 1° amine so answer is $(B)$ which gives 2, 4-DNP test and iodoform test.
