Solution

The correct option is C 1, 2 - Diacetoxy ethane and Ethylene glycol
A and B are 1, 2 - Diacetoxy ethane and Ethylene glycol respectively.
1,2-dibromoethane reacts with excess silver oxide/ acetic acid to form 1, 2 - Diacetoxy ethane .
Hydrolysis of 1, 2 - Diacetoxy ethane gives Ethylene glycol.
