Q3. Primary alcohols are prepared by reduction of carboxylic acids. Though lithium aluminium hydride is a strong reducing agent, it is not used in the reaction. Because
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Carboxylic acids are reduced to primary alcohols in excellent yields by lithium aluminium hydride, a strong reducing agent.

However, LiAlH4 is an expensive reagent, and therefore, used for preparing special chemicals only. Commercially, acids are reduced to alcohols by converting them to the esters followed by their reduction using hydrogen in the presence of catalyst (catalytic hydrogenation).
