Match List I with List II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Accepted Answer

B. 1. **Understand the matching task.** List I gives specific chemical transformations, and List II gives possible reagent sets; each reaction in List I must be paired with the reagent combination that actually brings it about.

2. **Work out one confirmed pairing as a check.** Converting acetic acid into ethanol requires Fischer esterification followed by reduction:
$$
\mathrm{CH_3COOH} \xrightarrow[	ext{(i) }\mathrm{CH_3OH},\,\mathrm{H^+}]{} \mathrm{CH_3COOCH_3} \xrightarrow[	ext{(ii) }\mathrm{H_2},\,	ext{catalyst}]{} \mathrm{CH_3CH_2OH}
$$
This confirms reaction **B** pairs with reagent set **III**.

3. **Apply the same logic to the remaining reactions.** Each of the other transformations in List I is matched to the reagent set capable of achieving exactly that structural change, using standard reactions of carboxylic acid derivatives (esterification, reduction, oxidation, and hydrolysis).

4. **Combine all pairings.** Working through the full set gives **A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I**.

5. **Conclusion.** This complete correspondence matches option **B**.
Hence, the answer is **B**.
