Solution

The correct option is A CH3CN
The complete reaction sequence is as follows:
CH3COOHNH3−−CH3COONH+4ΔCH3CONH2P2O5−−CH3CN
A is CH3COONH+4 (formed by a simple acid base reaction).
B is CH3CONH2 (formed by heating which eliminates water molecule).
C is CH3CN (P2O5 is a strong dehydrating agent and eliminates 1 more water molecule).
