Identify product A and B in following reaction.
\(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{COOR}^{\prime} \underset{\text { dry either }}{\stackrel{\mathrm{LiAlH}_4}{\longrightarrow}} \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}, \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{R}^{\prime}-\mathrm{OH}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{OH}, \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{R}^{\prime}-\mathrm{H}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{COOH}, \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{R}^{\prime}-\mathrm{OH}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CH}_3, \mathrm{~B}=\mathrm{R}^{\prime}-\mathrm{COOH}\)
