Match the name of the acid from List-$I$ with the source from which it is derived.
$A$. Formic acid$I$. Rancid butter
$B$. Acetic acid$II$. Vinegar
$C$. Butyric acid$III$. Red ants

Assertion : $RCOCl$,$(RCO)_2O$ and $RCOOR'$ all react with Grignard reagents to form $3^o$ alcohols.
Reason : $RCOCl$ reacts with $R_2Cd$ to form ketones but $(RCO)_2O$ and $RCOOR'$ do not react at all.

The reaction sequence$(s)$ that would lead to $o$-xylene as the major product is (are)

The major products $Q$ and $R$ from the following reactions,respectively are:
