A

`CH_(3)COOH`

B

`C_(6)H_(5)COOH`

C

`C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)COOH`

D

`CH_(3)COCH_(2)COOH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`CH_(3)COCH_(2)COOH` is a `beta`-keto acid. This decarboxylation is maximum is a carboxylic acid containg an electron withrawing group such as `gt CO` or - `COOH` at the `beta`-carbon atom with respect to the `.-COOH` group.
