Select the correct statement regarding this reaction, and the use of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC).

(A) The amine first attacks the carboxylic acid, and then DCC reacts with the tetrahedral intermediate.

(B) The amine reacts with DCC, converting the amine into a more nucleophilic derivative.

(C) The carboxylic acid reacts with DCC, converting the acid into a more electrophilic derivative.

(D) Without DCC, the amine and acid would not react with each other.

(E) Only a catalytic amount of DCC is needed, since DCC is regenerated during the course of the reaction.

(F) If the amine were secondary, then DCC would not be needed.
