Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : Ethanoic acid

The correct answer is 4 i.e. Ethanoic acid.

Explanation:

  • This compound contains 2 carbon atoms, so its parent alkane is ethane. 
  • It also contains a carboxylic acid group (-COOH).
  • The name of this compound can be obtained by replacing the last 'e' of ethane by 'oic acid' which gives us ethanoic acid.
  • So, the IUPAC name of CH3COOH is ethanoic acid.  
  • The common name of ethanoic acid is acetic acid.
