Hint:

The formation of carboxylic acid groups in aromatic compounds can occur through various electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In this reaction sequence, an aromatic compound undergoes a reaction with NaNO2/HCl, followed by hydrolysis with H2O/H3PO4, leading to the formation of a carboxyl group (COOH) as product 'C'. \vspace{0.5cm}
