Solution

The correct option is C ${C H}_{3} {C O C H}_{2} C O O H$
The correct option is D. $C H_{3} C O C H_{2} C O O H$ is a $β$ -keto acid. Thus decarboxylation is maximum in a carboxylic acid containing an electron withdrawing group such as $= C O$ or $C O O H$ at the $β$ -carbon atom with respect to the $- C O O H$ group.
