Options

  1. ADihydrogen reacts with CuO to give
  2. BDihydrogen reacts with CuO to give
  3. CDihydrogen reacts with CuO to give
  4. DDihydrogen reacts with CuO to give

Correct answer

B. Dihydrogen reacts with CuO to give

Step-by-step solution

β−\beta- Ketoacids undergo decarboxylation easily. It is due to the stability of transition state formed after decarboxylation of β\beta-keto acids. This is not possible in case of other acids. The compound that undergoes decarboxylation most readily under mild condition is
