Solution

The correct option is B Tanu is wrong but Manu is correct
Acids are oxidizing agents, means they are corrosive. Acids are, in general, corrosive substances and cause the destruction of surfaces of many materials. However, not all acids are corrosive in nature. For simplicity, we can assume that strong acids are corrosive, while weak acids are non-corrosive.
Esters are formed from the reaction between carboxylic acids and alcohols.
They are compounds having a pleasent fruity smell and are non-corrosive.
Esters are used in perfumes and ice creams due to its smell.
Hence, Manu is correct and Tanu is wrong.
