The answer is option A
Titration of strong acid and strong base any indicator can be used
Titration of weak acid and strong base phenolphthalein is used
Titration of strong acid and weak base methyl orange is used
Titration of weak acid and weak base no suitable indicator is used
In the question. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid while potassium hydroxide is a strong base therefore in this experiment phenolphthalein can be used.

The right answer is A
For weak (oxalic or ehanedioic) and strong (potassium hydroxide), use Phenolphthalein

Use SAM WAP
SAM strong acid use methylorange
WAP weak acid use phenolphthalein
NOTE THAT IF ACID IS STRONG BASE WILL BE WEAK AND VICE VERSA
