Solution

The correct option is B The product ethanoic acid contains the 18O isotope in acid hydrolysis of both 1 and 2.
The ethanoic acid obtained by the hydrolysis of the reactant 1 contains $^{18} O$ but the ethanoic acid obtained by the hydrolysis of the reactant 2 does not contain $^{18} O$ isotope.
