Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} C H_{2} O H$
A. $C H_{3} C O O H + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O^{-} N a^{+} + H_{2} O$
It is an acid-base neutralization reaction where salt forms with water.
B. $C H_{3} C O N H_{2} + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O^{-} N a^{+} + N H_{3}$
it is called hydrolysis of amide in an alkaline medium which gives carboxylic acid as the product
C. $C_{6} H_{5} O H + N a O H \to C_{6} H_{5} O^{-} N a^{+} + H_{2} O$
It is an acid-base neutralization reaction where salt forms with water.
D. $C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + N a O H \to N o r e a c t i o n$
Alcohols are very weak acids and do not react with $N a O H$ .
Phenol is more acidic than alcohol and therefore can react with $N a O H$ to form sodium phenoxide.
