MHT CET Chemistry question

In the given reaction, \mathrm{NH_3 + RX \rightarrow RNH_2\,(1^\circ) + RX \rightarrow R_2NH\,(2^\circ) + RX \rightarrow R_3N + RX \rightarrow R_4N^{\oplus}X^-} Select an appropriate statements(S) about the reaction.

(A)In this reaction, is the nucleophile
(B)In this reaction, RX is the nucleophile
(C) is called as quaternary ammonium salt
(D)Both (a) and (c)Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

In ammonolysis the lone pair of (or of the amine formed) attacks the electrophilic carbon of RX, so is the nucleophile (a is true) and
