Correct Answer - A
This reaction is Schmidt reaction. It involves the formation of `RNH_(2)` from `RCOOH`, when the later is warmed with hydrazoic acid in the presence of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`.
`RCOOH+HN_(3) overset("conc. "H_(2)SO_(4)) RNH_(2)+CO_(2)+N_(2)`
`CH_(3)COOH + HN_(3) overset("conc. "H_(2)SO_(4))(rarr) CH_(3)NH_(2)+CO_(2)+N_(2)`
