B. `CH_(2)=CH_(2),CH_(3)COOH,CH_(3)COOCH_(2)CH_(3)`
C. `HCHO,CH_(3)CH_(3),CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH`
D. `CH_(3)CH_(3),HCHO,CH_(3)COOH`

Answer

B

Explanation

(i) `underset("Ethanol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH)underset(Delta)overset("Hot conc."H_(2)SO_(4))rarrunderset("(X)")underset("Ethene")(CH_(2)=CH_(2))+H_(2)O`
(ii) `underset("Ethanol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH)underset(Delta)overset("Alk."KMnO_(4))rarrunderset("(Y)")underset("Ethanoic acid")(CH_(3)COOH)`
(iii) `underset("Ethanol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH)+underset("(Y)")underset("acid")underset("Ethanoic")(CH_(3)COOH)overset("Acid")rarrunderset("(Z)")underset("(Ester)")underset("Ethyl ethanoate")(CH_(3)COOCH_(2)CH_(3))`
