Answer: A
In the Gabriel synthesis potassium phthalimide is alkylated by an alkyl halide in an SN2 step, and hydrolysis or hydrazinolysis then releases the free amine. The nitrogen carries only one alkyl group, so only primary aliphatic amines form. Aryl halides do not undergo SN2 with the phthalimide anion, so aniline cannot be made this way.
