None of these will be the correct option.

Explanation:

  • The acetylene is reacted with acetic acid in presence of mercury ions to form vinyl acetate.
  • The acetylene has three carbon carbon bonds.
  • These bonds are attacked by mercury ions which opens up one bond and forms a temporary three membered ring structure.
  • The three membered ring structure is then broken by acetic acid which donates the proton to acetylene and breaks the bond with mercury.
  • The second transitional bond with mercury is eventually broken and the oxygen carbon bond is formed.
