  2. BCH ₃- CHO
  3. CCH ₃- OH
  4. DCH ₃ COOH

Correct answer

D. CH ₃ COOH

Step-by-step solution

Acetic anhydride undergoes hydrolysis with water to form acetic acid: (CH₃CO)2O + H₂ O 2CH₃ COOH Among the options, D represents acetic acid CH₃ COOH , while A is acetone, B is acetaldehyde, and C is methanol. This hydrolysis is characteristic of acid anhydrides reacting with nucleophiles. Final answer: D
