Solution

The correct option is A Acetic acid
Acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form carbon dioxide.

$C H_{3} C O O H + N a H C O_{3} \to C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O + C O_{2} ↑$

Since carboxylic acid is most acidic which can reacts with weak base to release carbon dioxide.

Option A is correct.
