The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
• Complex reactions involve multiple steps and intermediates
Step 1: Analyze reactions
(i) Oxidation of ethane → complex (multi-step)
(ii) Surface decomposition → simple
(iii) Saponification → simple
(iv) Nitration → complex mechanism
(v) Surface reaction → simple Final Conclusion:
