Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between methanol ($\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{OH}$) and carbon monoxide ($\mathrm{CO}$) in the presence of a catalyst typically forms acetic acid ($\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{O})-\mathrm{OH}$), which matches choice A. This process is known as carbonylation.
