The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- In the given reaction, the halide (Br) group reacts with AgCN (silver cyanide), replacing the bromine atom with the cyanide group (CN) via nucleophilic substitution. - This substitution results in the formation of the major product where the cyanide group (NC) is attached to the benzene ring in place of the bromine atom. Final Answer: Option (4).
