Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The reaction is an example of ester hydrolysis, where an ester (in this case, ethyl acetate) reacts with water in the presence of a base (NaOH) to break down into an alcohol and a carboxylate salt.

Reaction: The reaction can be represented as CH\(_3\)COOC\(_3\)H\(_7\)  +  NaOH  →  CH\(_3\)COONa  +  C\(_3\)H\(_7\)OH
