This reaction uses modified Hinsberg's reagent

Benzenesulphonyl chloride is replaced by p-toluene sulphonyl chloride.

Primary amines react with Para Toluene sulfonyl chloride to form a precipitate that is soluble in NaOH.

Secondary amines react with para toluene sulfonyl chloride to give a precipitate that is insoluble in NaOH.

 

Tertiary amines do not react with para toluene sulphonyl chloride.

So, Primary, secondary and tertiary amines can be separated using  Para-Toluene sulphonyl chloride.

Therefore, the Correct option is (2)
