Hello Student
Correct Answer is 2) Acetic acid
Vinegar is a dilute impure acetic acid made from beer wine etc. The acetic acid is produced by fermentation of alcohol by acetic acid bacteria. It is used as a cooking gradient for pickling etc. Also used in industrial, medical and domestic purposes etc.

The correct answer is (2) acetic acid.
Vinegar is a liquid consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water. The acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Vinegar is now mainly used as a cooking ingredient, but historically, as the most easily available mild acid, it had a great variety of industrial, medical, and domestic uses, some of which (such as its use as a general household cleanser) are still promoted today.
