Answer»

Right choice is (d) All of the mentioned

The best explanation: ESTERIFICATION may be enormously hastened by the ADDITION of a strong ACID, such as sulfuric or HYDROCHLORIC acid. The EQUILIBRIUM point of the reaction is not altered by the catalyst; only the rate of esterification is increased.
