Solution

The correct option is B first order
$H^{+} {C H}_{3} {C O O C}_{2} H_{5} + H_{2} O ⟶ {C H}_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H$
In the above reaction medium of reaction is water which will be in excess, hence it can be avoided in rate expression, thus rate will be given as
$R a t e = K [{C H}_{3} {C O O C}_{2} H_{5}]$
Hence it is a $1^{s t}$ order reaction.
