Solution

The correct option is B Ethanoic acid, Ethanol, Ethylethanoate
Ethanoic acid is obtained by the reaction of alkaline KMnO4 $_{4}$ with ethanol followed by acidification.

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H {i. alkaline KMnO}_{4} - ---------- \to ii. acidification C H_{3} - C O O H$

Ethanoic acid also reacts with ethanol in presence of few drops of H $_{2}$ SO $_{4}$ to form a sweet smelling ethyl ethanoate.

$C H_{3} - C O O H + C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H H_{2} S O_{4} - --- \to C H_{3} - C O O C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

The compound $X$ , $Y$ and $Z$ are ethanoic acid, ethanol, ethylethanoate respectively.

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
