Solution

The correct option is C all of these
The carboxylic acids react with baking soda to form sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water. The general reaction can be written as:
$R C O O H + N a H C O_{3} \to C H_{3} C O O N a + C O_{2} + H_{2} O$
Thus the effervescence results from the release of carbon dioxide gas.
