Solution

The correct option is A ${C H}_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5}$
$- C_{3} - C | | O - O H + H O C_{2} H_{5} H^{+} - - \to C H_{3} - C | | o - O C_{2} H_{5} E t h y l a c e t a t e$

A sweet-smelling compound formed by reacting acetic acid with ethanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid is ethyl acetate.

So, the correct option is (A).
