Solution

The correct option is A $H C O O C H_{3}$ and $C H_{3} C O O C H_{3}$
$H C O O C H_{3}$ and $C H_{3} C O O C H_{3}$ are members of the same homologous series. The formula of these compounds differs by a methylene group $(- C H_{2})$ group.
Note: In chemistry, a homologous series is a group or class of compounds having the same general formula and similar chemical properties in which successive members differ by $- C H_{2}$ group.
