    A)                 \[\overset{\overset{\,\,\,\,O}{\mathop{\,\,\,\,\,||}}\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-Cl}}\,\] 

    B)                 \[\overset{\overset{\,\,\,\,\,\,O}{\mathop{\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,||}}\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}Cl-C-OH}}\,\]

    C) \[\overset{\overset{\,\,\,Cl}{\mathop{\,\,|}}\,}{\mathop{\underset{\underset{\,\,Cl}{\mathop{\,\,\,|}}\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-OH}}\,}}\,\]   

    D)                 \[\overset{\overset{O\,\,}{\mathop{||\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C-O-Cl}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow{{{I}_{2}}/\operatorname{Re}d\,p}C{{H}_{2}}Cl-COOH\]
