Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} C O O H$ and $C_{2} H_{5} O H$
Ethyl acetate is an ester, so A any B must be alcohol and carboxylic acid.

For the formation of ethyl acetate, we need alcohol with 2 carbons and carboxylic acid with 2 carbons.

Both have acidic hydrogens so they reacts with Na to form hydrogen gas.

$C H_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H c o n c . H_{2} S O_{4} - ------ \to C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} + H_{2} O$
Option A is correct.
