Answer 2

The reaction of carboxylic acid which involves H atom removal from OH group and forms esters as the major product of the reaction is called esterification reaction. Thus, the correct option is a. Esters.

Explanation:

• When a carboxylic acid is treated with alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, it results in the formation of an ester and water.
• Ester is a compound in which the H atom of the OH group of acid is replaced by an alkyl group.
• The reaction is called the esterification reaction. It can be given as:

        $\[R - COOH + R - OH\xrightarrow{{{H^ + }}}R - COOR + {H_2}O\]$
