Detailed Solution

  • Amines undergo oxidation in the presence of different oxidizing agents to yield various products. The products mostly depend on the oxidizing agents used. KMnO4' potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent 
  • when ethylamine which is a primary amine is treated with KMnO4 it yields an aldehyde as a product.CH3-CH2-NH2+KMnO4CH3-CHNH+H3O+CH3CHO

Ethyl amine when reacts with potassium permanganate, forms aldimine which further on hydrolysis gives acetaldehyde.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.
