D

R2NH , Ph−SO2−NR2−(C2H5)+I−\text{R}_2\text{NH} \text{ , } \text{Ph} - \text{SO}_2 - \text{NR}_2 - (\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)^+ \text{I}^-

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Option B is correct because it contains a primary amine (R – NH – R) and a sulfonium ion (Ph – SO₂ – NR₂ – C₂H₅), which allows for the formation of a water-soluble compound. Primary amines are more likely to engage in hydrogen bonding with water, enhancing solubility. In contrast, option A features a quaternary ammonium ion, which is less soluble in water, while options C and D do not provide the necessary structure for water solubility due to the presence of either an iodide or a tertiary amine, which limits solubility in polar solvents like H₂O.
