  1. A
    A-Methoxymethane, X-Ethanoic acid, Y-Acetate ion, Z-hydrazine
  2. B
    A-Methoxymethane, X-Ethanol, Y-Ethanoic acid, Z-Semicarbazide
  3. C
    A-Ethanal, X-Ethanol, Y-But-2-enal, Z-Semicarbazone
  4. D
    A-Ethanol, X-Acetaldehyde, Y-Butanone, Z-Hydrazone

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

must be Ethanol () because catalytic dehydrogenation with at gives Ethanal (). (Ethanal, ) gives a positive silver mirror test (it's an aldehyde).Ethanal reacts with semicarbazide to form Ethanal semicarbazone ().Ethanal undergoes aldol condensation in dilute alkali followed by heating to form But-2-enal ().
