  • \(\text{NH}_2\text{OH}\)
  • \(\text{NH}_2\text{NHCONH}_2\)
  • \(\text{NH}_2\text{NHC}_6\text{H}_5\)
  • \(\text{NH}_2 - \text{NH}_2\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Carbonyl compounds react with derivatives of ammonia to form characteristic derivatives. Step 1: Identify reaction type. Ketones react with semicarbazide to form semicarbazone: \[ \text{R}_2\text{C=O} + \text{NH}_2\text{NHCONH}_2 \rightarrow \text{R}_2\text{C=NNHCONH}_2 \]
Step 2: Identify reagent. \[ \text{Semicarbazide} = \text{NH}_2\text{NHCONH}_2 \]
Step 3: Conclusion. Reagent required is semicarbazide.
