TestHub · Accepted Answer

When benzyl bromide is treated with AgCN, it forms benzyl isocyanide. This reaction is followed by the S_N² mechanism.

Benzylamine on heating with chloroform and ethanolic potassium hydroxide forms Benzyl isocyanides. This reaction is known as carbylamine reaction or isocyanide test.

$2^{°}$ amine does not give carbylamine reaction.

So, the correct option is C.
