Which one of the following is most reactive towards electrophilic attack?

Identify the product $(X)$ formed in the following reaction:
$C_{6}H_{5}OH + CH_{3}COOH \xrightarrow{H^{+}} X$

If the reaction sequence given below is carried out with $15$ moles of acetylene,the amount of the product $D$ formed (in $g$) is. . . . . The yields of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are given in parentheses. [Given: Atomic mass of $H=1, C=12, O=16, Cl=35$]

$A$ compound $A$ $(C_{7}H_{8}O)$ is insoluble in $NaHCO_{3}$ solution but dissolves in $NaOH$ and gives a characteristic colour with neutral $FeCl_{3}$ solution. When treated with bromine water,compound $A$ forms the compound $B$ with the formula $C_{7}H_{5}OBr_{3}$. $A$ is:

The structure of the compound that gives a tribromo derivative on treatment with bromine water is

Phenol $\xrightarrow{Zn \, \text{dust}} X$ $\xrightarrow[Anhyd. \, AlCl_3]{CH_3Cl} Y$ $\xrightarrow{\text{Alkaline } KMnO_4} Z$. In the above reaction,what is $Z$?
