Solution
The correct option is A carboxylic acid
The hunsdiecker reaction is a name reaction in organic chemistry where silver salts of carboxylic acids react with a halogen (commonly bromine molecules) to produce an organic halide (or organic bromide). It is an example of both a decarboxylation and a halogenation reaction as the product has one less carbon atoms than the starting material (lost as carbon dioxide) and a halogen atom is introduced in its place.
