Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A substance acts as an acid (i.e ., gives a proton) only when another substance present acts as a base (i.e ., accepts a proton). `CH_(3)COOH` cannot act as an acid in benzence because benzence cannot accept a proton (i.e ., cannot acts as a base ).
