Solution

The correct option is D CH3CH(OO||CCH3)2
In this reaction, first ethylidine acetate(A) forms which on heating gives acetaldehyde (B) and acetic anhydride (C).
Reaction of formation of ethylidine acetate:

HC=CHAcetyleneCH3COOH−−−−−−Hg2+H2C=CH(OCOCH3)CH3COOH−−−−−−Hg2+CH3CH(OCOCH3)2
Ethylidine acetate
