The correct option is D $L i A l H_{4}$
Reactions:
$n C_{3} H_{7} C O_{2} H L i A I H_{4} - ---- \to o r B_{2} H_{6} n C_{4} H_{9} O H$

Both lithium aluminum hydride and borane are strong reducing agents and can be used for the rapid reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols.

Hence, the correct option is $C$
