c.

Step-by-step solution

Reaction of carbonyl compounds and the amines

The carbonyl compounds act as an electrophile in the presence of a Lewis base. The amines are the Lewis base because they contain lone pairs of electrons.

An amine gives its electron to the carbonyl group and forms a bond on the place of either the leaving group or the carbonyl oxygen.
