Note the type of reaction you expect for the reactants Zn and CuSO4?

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A single replacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single element displaces another element from a compound.
For example,
Only a more reactive element can replaces another element from a compound.
So, according to reactivity series zinc element is more reactive than copper. Hence, zinc is able to displace copper in a copper sulfate solution.
Thus, we can conclude that the type of reaction you expect for the reactants Zn and is single replacement.

Answer:
that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
Explanation:
Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.
For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH] is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.
In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.
i.e Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol
As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:
