    D)  \[NH_{4}^{+}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Nesslers reagent \[{{K}_{2}}[Hg{{I}_{4}}]\]in alkaline  medium is used to detect \[{{K}_{2}}[Hg{{I}_{4}}]\] \[\underbrace{2{{K}_{2}}(Hg{{I}_{4}})+4KOH}_{Nesslers\,reagent}N{{H}_{4}}Cl\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{iodid}\,\text{of}\,\text{Millon }\!\!\!\!\text{ s}\,\text{base} \\  \text{(brown}\,\text{ppt}\text{.)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}HgOHgI}}\,+7KI+KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
