Solution
The correct option is A Acetic acid
Carboxylic acid also reacts with weaker bases such as carbonate/bicarbonate and releases CO2. This is used to detect the carboxylic group in an organic compound. This is known as carbonate/bicarbonate test. Hence acetic acid reacts with NaHCO3 solution to give sodium salt and carbon dioxide.
