Solution

The correct option is A

True


There is extensive association within molecules of carboxylic acids via intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Even in vapour phase, the hydrogen bonds remain intact and most of the carboxylic acids exist as dimers in vapour phase or in aprotic solvents. The simple aliphatic carboxylic acids get dissolved in water as they can form hydrogen bonds in water.
