Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`LAH` reduces both ester and acid to alcohols.

b. `HI+P` reduces both ester and acid to alkane.

c. `NaAlH_(4)` reduces only ester to aldehyde and alcohol.

d. `B_(2)H_(6)//H_(2)O` selectively reduces acid to alcohol (although it can also reduce ester to alcohols) but acid group is reduced in the presence of esters.

So the answer is `(d)`.
