Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the reaction type

This is an amide hydrolysis reaction in basic conditions.

Step2: Recall amide hydrolysis mechanism

In basic amide hydrolysis, the amide \(\ce{R - CONH - R'}\) reacts with \(\ce{NaOH}\). The carbon - nitrogen bond in the amide breaks. The carbonyl carbon (\(\ce{C=O}\) in the amide) ends up in the carboxylate salt (\(\ce{CH3 - CH2 - COO^{-}Na^{+}}\) here).

Step3: Determine the amine product

The nitrogen - attached group (\(\ce{-NH - CH3}\) in the starting amide \(\ce{CH3 - CH2 - C(=O)-NH - CH3}\)) forms the amine. When the bond between \(\ce{C=O}\) (of the amide) and \(\ce{N}\) breaks, the product from the nitrogen part is \(\ce{CH3 - NH2}\) (written as \(\ce{CH3 - N - H2}\) in the given options' style).

Answer:

\(\ce{CH3 - N - H2}\)
