Solution

The correct option is A ${C H}_{3} C O O H$
Empirical formula is a simplest ratio of the total number of the atoms in the given element.
Here $C H_{3} C O O H$ can also be written as $C_{2} H_{4} O_{2}$
Its simplest formula can be written as $C H_{2} O$ .
Thus empirical formula of the $C H_{3} C O O H$ is $C H_{2} O$
