Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O N a + C_{2} H_{5} O H$
Saponification is a process that involves the conversion of fat, oil, or lipid, into soap and alcohol by the action of aqueous alkali

$C H_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H \to C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} + H_{2}$ is an esterification reaction.

$C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O N a + C_{2} H_{5} O H$ is a saponification reaction.

$2 C_{2} H_{5} O H + 2 N a \to 2 C_{2} H_{5} O N a + H_{2} .$ This reaction represents the acidic nature of ethanol.

$2 C H_{3} C O O H + 2 N a \to 2 C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} .$ This reaction represents the nature of ethanoic acid.
