Solution

The correct option is A $C H C l_{3}$
When chlorine reacts with ethyl alcohol in the presence of $K O H$ , chloroform is obtained as a final product.
${C l}_{2} + {C H}_{3} {C H}_{2} O H ⟶ {C H}_{3} C H O + 2 H C l$ [oxidation]
${C C l}_{3} C H O + K O H H y d r o l y s i s ⟶ {C H C l}_{3} + H C O O K$
chloroform.
