Solution
The correct option is D I and II Only carboxylic acids and their derivatives like anhydride are capable to give effervescence with aqueous NaHCO3 solution, because they are more acidic as compared to H2CO3 (carbonic acid). CH3COOH+NaHCO3⟶CH3COONa+H2O+CO2 (CH3CO)2O+2NaHCO3⟶2CH3COONa+H2O+CO2
