Answer #1

a) KOH can depronate phenol since hydroxyl ion is a stronger base

b)phenol react with ammonia since ammonia is sufficient basic ( due to presence of loan pair over nitrogen) to deprotonate phenol.

c) phenol does not react with NaHCO3 since bicarbonate ion is a weak base and can't remove proton from phenol.

d) NaH can deprotonate phenol since hydride ion is a strong base.

so correct answer is ( a,b,d )
