Solution

The correct option is C CH3C2H5|C(OH)C6H5
When carboxylic acid reacts with PCl5, acid chloride formed and acid chloride on reaction with benzene (or its derivatives) forms ketones and this process is known as Freidal Craft acylation carried out in presence of anhydrous AlCl3. Ketones on reaction with Grignard reagent form tertiary alcohols.
CH3COOH+PCl5CH3COClC6H6−−−−−−−−−AnhydrousAlCl3CH3COC6H5
(i) C2H5MgBr/ether , (ii) H+
OH
H3C|C|C6H5
C2H5 (2phenylbutan2ol)
