Which one of the following is another name of RDX?

Correct Option (D):

RDX, an acronym for Research Department Explosive, is a powerful military-grade high explosive. Its chemical name is cyclotrimethylene trinitramine. RDX is also known by several other names, including Cyclonite, Hexogen (particularly in Europe), and T4. It is a nitroamine compound characterized by its high detonation velocity and stability, making it a crucial component in plastic explosives such as C-4.

Incorrect Options:

Cyanohydrin: This refers to a class of organic compounds containing both a nitrile (-C≡N) group and a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the same carbon atom. It is not an explosive or an alternative name for RDX.

Dextran: This is a complex branched polysaccharide, a type of carbohydrate. It is primarily used in medicine as an antithrombotic agent or a plasma volume expander, not as an explosive.

Cyclohexane: This is a cycloalkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₆H₁₂. It is a non-explosive organic solvent widely used in industrial applications, not an explosive or an alternative name for RDX.
