The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is used to prepare primary aliphatic amines.
- The method involves nucleophilic substitution followed by hydrolysis.
- It is not suitable for aromatic amines (e.g., aniline) or secondary/tertiary amines.
Hence, propylamine is a valid product.
