Nitrobenzene is heated with $Sn / HCl$ and the mixture is then made alkaline. The main organic product is

Aazoxybenzene
BN-phenylhydroxylamine
Cazobenzene
Daniline

Answer: D

Metals in acidic medium (Sn/HCl, Fe/HCl) carry out complete reduction of the nitro group to the amine, giving aniline (as anilinium chloride, freed by alkali). Azobenzene and azoxybenzene form in alkaline media.
