B: Carboxylic Acid and Amide
Looks similar to a Gabriel Synthesis

I don't think this is a Gabriel synthesis since an alkyl halide isn't being turned into an amine, but regardless this is pretty advanced for the DAT.
You could deduce the answer by knowing that an acid is created, so one of the answers is carboxylic acid, so D is out. Then the other choices differ in an amide, ketone, and aldehyde. I'd just guess amide because two moles of NH3 reacted with a carboxylic acid, probably leading to an amide.

i know this is super old, but should i just disregard this reaction? i'm kind of in a time crunch, want to get as many important reactions down pat

Whenever you have an anhydride and excess Amine, you will get carboxy acid and Amide. You simply cut the anhydride. The reagent is similar to a Gabriel, but Gabriel reagent has an N instead of the O in the Phthalic anhydride. Hope this helps.
