A
B
C
Correct answer
D

Solution

Key Idea Alkaline $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ converts complete carbon chain that is directly attached to benzene nucleus, to $-\mathrm{COOH}$ group. $\mathrm{Br}_2$ in the presence of halogon carrier causes bromination and ethyl alcohol in acidic medium results in esterification.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
