Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the first reaction, Compound I is formed by a substitution of the methyl group on benzene with iodine. 
In the second reaction, Compound II is formed by reducing iodine to iodide using sodium sulfite. 
In the third reaction, Compound III is formed by adding silver nitrate to iodide, which leads to the formation of silver iodide and nitrate ion. 
In the fourth reaction, Compound IV is formed by treating Compound III with sulfuric acid, which results in the removal of nitrate ion and the formation of iodide ion. 
Finally, Compound V is formed by adding hydrogen peroxide to iodide ion, which results in the formation of iodine and water. 
The product of the overall reaction sequence is Compound III, so the best choice is C.
