Match the four starting materials (P, Q, R, S) given in List I with the corresponding reaction schemes (I, II, III, IV) provided in List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.
Analyzing each starting material and matching with the schemes:
P (toluene derivative): Scheme IV involves sulfonation followed by nitration and hydrolysis to give a nitrophenol (C6H5NO4).
Q (resorcinol): Scheme III involves chlorination with red hot iron, nitration, reduction, diazotization, and hydrolysis to give a nitrophenol (C6H5NO3).
R (nitrobenzene): Scheme II involves reduction to aniline, acetylation, nitration, hydrolysis to give a diaminonitrobenzene (C6H6N2O2).
S (p-nitrotoluene): Scheme I involves oxidation to acid, conversion to amide to give nitrobenzoic acid amide (C7H6N2O3).
Therefore, the correct matching is P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1, which corresponds to option (C).
