Well, can you compare the atoms in the product with the reactants, and give us the formula?  Once you know the product, you may  be able to come up with a name for this reaction.

See, this is how we help, on this forum.  We try to help you learn to help yourself, so you're better off later, when a similar problem comes up.  Try this one out and see.

No, the missing product D is not that.  Dimethylaminoethanol is not made up of what's missing.  Look closely, the known product's skeleton is almost exactly the same as the reactants, except for ...?

Is the OH Hydroxide a factor?

You're getting warmer.  Is something else missing from the product?  Also,we generally don't consider -OH from an organic molecule to be a hydroxide.
