Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The reaction between ethyl formate (a carboxylic acid derivative) and cyclohexylamine (an amine) results in the formation of an amide compound. The carbonyl group of ethyl formate reacts with the amino group of cyclohexylamine, leading to the formation of an amide bond and the elimination of ethanol. Therefore, the answer is A) amide.
