A Correct answer
Explanation

The -COOH functional group is called carboxylic acid, commonly shortened to 'acid'. This group consists of a carbonyl (C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH) bonded to the same carbon. Option A shows 'ASID' which is a typo for 'ACID', but it's clearly meant to be the correct answer. Esters contain -COO-, amides contain -CONH2, and amino groups contain -NH2.
