The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Hofmann bromamide degradation is a reaction in which a primary amide (like CH3CONH2) is treated with Br2 and a strong base (NaOH), resulting in the formation of a primary amine with one carbon atom less — here forming CH3NH2. Thus, the correct reactant is CH3CONH2.
