The correct option for the above reaction is

The correct option for the above reaction is
- Correct answerA

- B

- C

- D

Solution
Hint : 
In acidic medium, only monohalogenation takes place. \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Y}: \mathrm{CHBr}_3 \\ & \mathrm{Z}: \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa} \end{aligned}\) Second step is bromoform reaction that takes place here on \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_2-\mathrm{Br}\)

In acidic medium, only monohalogenation takes place. \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Y}: \mathrm{CHBr}_3 \\ & \mathrm{Z}: \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa} \end{aligned}\) Second step is bromoform reaction that takes place here on \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_2-\mathrm{Br}\)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
