  • $CH_3 -$
  • B
    $CH_3 - CH_2$
  • C
    $\begin{matrix}
       C{{H}_{3}}-CH-  \\
       \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|  \\
       \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}}  \\
    \end{matrix}$

    $\begin{matrix}
       \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}}  \\
       \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|  \\
       C{{H}_{3}}-C-  \\
       \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|  \\
       \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}}  \\
    \end{matrix}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$CH_3 -$
a
$(a)$ Alcohol shows acidic behavior in esterification, so $CH_3OH$ is most acidic  among all the options, so rate of esterification will be maximum.
