The correct answer is: $\mathrm{RNC}$


(ii) $\mathrm{RCONHBr}+\mathrm{KOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{RNCO}+\mathrm{KBr}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
(iii) $\mathrm{RNCO}+2 \mathrm{KOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{RNH}_2+\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3$
$\mathrm{RCONH}_2+\mathrm{Br}_2+4 \mathrm{KOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{RNH}_2+2 \mathrm{KBr}$
$+\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
