  4. A compound A of formula C3H6Cl2 on reaction with alkali can give B of formula C3H6O or C of formula C3H4. B on oxidation gave a compound of the formula C3H6O2. C with dilute H2SO4 containing Hg2+ ion gave D of formula C3H6O, with which bromine and NaOH gave the sodium salt of acid of formula C2H4O2. Then A is
