Solution

The correct option is D C2H5OH,CH3COOC2H5
Since LiAlH4 is a reducing agent it will convert CH3COOH into alcohol (CH3CH2OH) and we know that reaction of alcohol and acid leads to the formation of esters hence (B) is CH3COOC2H5. The reaction is given below:
CH3COOHLiAlH4CH3CH2OH (A)
(B)
Hence, the correct option is (d).
