Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the correct matching between the compounds in List-I and the qualitative chemical identification tests in List-II, we analyze each compound and its characteristic reaction:

  1. Compound A (Cyclohexanol):

    • Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol (22^\circ alcohol).
    • Secondary alcohols react with Lucas reagent (a solution of anhydrous ZnCl2\text{ZnCl}_2 in concentrated HCl\text{HCl}) to form alkyl chlorides, producing turbidity within 5 minutes.
    • Therefore, A matches with III (Lucas test).
  2. Compound B (Cyclohexylamine):

    • Cyclohexylamine is a primary aliphatic amine (11^\circ amine).
    • Primary amines react with Hinsberg's reagent (benzenesulfonyl chloride, C6H5SO2Cl\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}) to yield an NN-alkylbenzenesulfonamide containing an acidic hydrogen, which dissolves in aqueous NaOH\text{NaOH}.
    • Therefore, B matches with I (Hinsberg's reagent test).
  3. Compound C (Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde):

    • Cyclohexanecarbaldehyde contains an aldehyde functional group (CHO-\text{CHO}).
    • Aldehydes readily reduce Tollen's reagent (ammoniacal silver nitrate, [Ag(NH3)2]+[\text{Ag}(\text{NH}_3)_2]^+) to metallic silver, forming a silver mirror on the inner walls of the test tube.
    • Therefore, C matches with IV (Tollen's test).
  4. Compound D (Phenol):

    • Phenol reacts with phthalic anhydride when heated in the presence of concentrated H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 to form phenolphthalein. Upon adding excess alkali (NaOH\text{NaOH}), a characteristic pink dye solution is produced.
    • Therefore, D matches with II (Phthalein dye test).

Combining the correct matches: A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II\text{A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II}

This corresponds to Option A.
