A toxic compound " A " when reacted with NaCN in aqueous acidic medium yields an edible cooking component and food preservative ' B '. " B " is converted to "C" by diborane and can be used as an additive to petrol to reduce emission. "C" upon reaction with oleum at 140^ C yields an inhalable anesthetic "D". Identify "A", "B", "C" and "D", respectively.

Options

  1. AMethanol; formaldehyde; methyl chloride; chloroform
  2. BEthanol; acetonitrile; ethylamine; ethylene
  3. CMethanol; acetic acid; ethanol; diethyl ether
  4. DAcetaldehyde;2- hydroxypropanoic acid; propanoic acid; dipropyl ether
