Answer : A - carboxyl group.
The carbon in the carboxyl group is bonded to a hydroxyl group and also it is double bonded to an oxygen group.
The carboxyl group when it is dissolved in a solution donates it's hydrogen ion(H+ ion). When it is dissolved in water, the carboxyl group loses its H+ ion to form negatively charged ion.
RCOOH + H2O⇄RCOO- + H3O+
Thus the carboxyl group act as an acid when dissolved in water.

Answer:
A region on top of a mountain is cooler than at the base.
Explanation:
Pressure and temperature have direct relationship with each other. With the decrease in pressure, the temperature decreases and vice versa. When the air rises in the atmosphere, the pressure starts to fall. The low pressure at the peak of the mountains tends to cause the fall in temperature. It is because of this reason that it is cooler at the top of the mountain while the temperature is less cool in the foothills.
