Solution

The correct option is A Test tube A only
Ethanoic acid is also called as acetic acid, which is a weak acid.

When an equal amount of water and acetic acid are added in a test tube, shaken well and kept still for five minutes, we can observe a clear colorless solution. This is due to the dissociation of the hydrogen molecule and the complete miscible nature of the acetic acid and water.
Hence, test tube A has a clear solution.
