Solution
The correct option is ACH3CN The complete reaction sequence is as follows: CH3COOHNH3−−−→CH3COO−NH+4Δ−→CH3CONH2P2O5−−−→CH3CN A is CH3COO−NH+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).
