@All.
Here is the explanation of the options.
A) What is formed when aldehydes are oxidized?
It depends on whether the reaction is done under acidic or alkaline conditions. Under acidic conditions, the aldehyde is oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Under alkaline conditions, this couldn't form because it would react with the alkali.
B) Hydrolysis of an ether gives alcohol.
C) Esterification is the process of combining an organic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (ROH) to form an ester (RCOOR) and water, or a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of at least one ester product. Ester is obtained by an esterification reaction of alcohol and carboxylic acid.
