AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will identify the compounds A, B, C, and D step by step, along with the reactions involved. ### Step 1: Identify Compound B The question states that compound A on oxidation gives B, which is C₂H₄O₂. This molecular formula corresponds to **acetic acid (ethanoic acid)**. **Reaction:** \[ A \xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}} B \] \[ A \xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}} \text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O}_2 \text{ (Acetic Acid)} \] ...
