Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) I, III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidizing agents \(=\mathrm{HNO}_3, 2\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}\)(Tollen's reagent) Nucleophilic agents \(=\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{NH}_2 / \mathrm{OH}^{-}, \mathrm{NaOH}\)
