    B) methane

    C) acetaldehyde

    D) ethyl alcohol

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]\[\underset{methyal\,bromide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}Br}}\,\xrightarrow[-KBr]{KCN}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ethane\,nitrile \\  'A' \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CN}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ethanoic\,aicd \\  'B' \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,\] \[\xrightarrow[ehter]{LiAl{{H}_{4}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ethanol \\  'C' \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\]
