Correct answer: C. Benzene
- A. Phenol
- B. Naphthalene
- C. Benzene
- D. Pyridine
Explanation
Industrial caprolactam production can begin with benzene, which is converted through cyclohexane and cyclohexanone to cyclohexanone oxime, followed by the Beckmann rearrangement. Phenol is also used in some routes, but benzene is the expected feedstock in this question.
