Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A primary (1°) amine has one alkyl or aryl group and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atom. Molecule I and II both have this arrangement, making them primary amines, while molecule III has two alkyl groups bonded to the nitrogen atom, making it a secondary amine. Therefore, choice D, which includes molecules I and II, is the best choice.
