$(A)$ The acidic strength of the functional groups present in the molecule follows the order: $-COOH > 	ext{phenolic } -OH > 	ext{terminal alkyne } (-C \equiv CH)$.Given that $2 	ext{ moles}$ of $NaNH_2$ are used, $NaNH_2$ is a strong base that will deprotonate the two most acidic protons.The most acidic proton is the carboxylic acid proton $(-COOH)$, followed by the phenolic $-OH$ group (specifically the one activated by the electron-withdrawing $-NO_2$ group).Therefore, the $-COOH$ group becomes $-COO^-$ and the phenolic $-OH$ group (ortho to $-NO_2$) becomes $-O^-$. The terminal alkyne and the other phenolic $-OH$ remain unchanged. This corresponds to option $A$.

Column-$I$ (Name)	Column-$II$ ($C-O$ bond length) and Column-$III$ ($C-O-H$ angle)
$A$. Methanol	$1$. $141 \ pm$,$i$. $109^o$
$B$. Phenol	$2$. $136 \ pm$,$ii$. $111.7^o$
$C$. Methoxymethane	$3$. $142 \ pm$,$iii$. $108.9^o$

What will be the product $A$?
