Solution

The correct option is A ethanoic acid and carbon dioxide
When propene is bubbled through hot aqueous solution of potassium permangante, ethanoic aid and formic acid are formed. The formic acid decomposes to water and carbon dioxide.
$C H_{2} = C H - C H_{3} h o t - ---- \to K M n O_{4} C H_{3} C O O H + H C O O H$
$H C O O H \to H_{2} O + C O_{2}$
This is oxidative cleavage reaction.
