To solve this problem, we need to understand the reaction that occurs in Lassaigne's test when both nitrogen and sulfur are present in an organic compound.In Lassaigne's test, the organic compound is fused with sodium to form sodium cyanide (NaCN) and sodium sulfide (Na_2S).The reaction can be represented as:• CNNaNaCN• SNaNaSWhen both NaCN and NaS are present, they react to form sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN):• NaCNNaSNaSCNNaCThe sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) then reacts with ferrous ions (Fe) to form a blood red complex,which is known as ferric thiocyanate Fe(SCN).The reaction is as follows:• FeSCNFe(SCN)This blood red color is characteristic of the formation of the complex Fe(SCN).Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: Fe(SCN).
