C

`CH_(3)NC`

D

`CH_(3)CHOH`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
On hydrolysis in acid medium acetonitrile gives carboxylic acid.
`underset("Acetonitrile")(CH_(3)-C equivN)+H_(2)O overset("Acid")(rarr) underset(("Amide"),("(Intermediate)"))(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset("||")(C)-NH_(2))
CH_(3)-overset(O)overset("||")(C)-NH_(2)+HOH overset("Acid")(rarr) underset("Acetic acid")(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset("||")(C)-OH)+NH_(3)`
