    C) \[HCOOH\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[H-C<-\begin{matrix}    Cl  \\    Cl  \\    Cl  \\ \end{matrix}+3{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}ONa\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{\text{Ethyl orthoformate}}{\mathop{H-C-\begin{matrix}    O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}  \\    O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}  \\    O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}  \\ \end{matrix}+3NaCl}}\,\]
