Oxidation of aniline with acidified $K X_{2} Cr X_{2} O X_{7}$ gives mainly

Anitrobenzene
Bazobenzene
Cp-benzoquinone
Dbenzoic acid

Answer: C

Aniline is easily oxidised; acidified dichromate converts it to p-benzoquinone (via oxidation at the para position and hydrolysis of the imine). Nitrobenzene needs peroxy acids and azobenzene arises under other oxidative conditions.
