Interpretation:
Among the given structures, the structures that represent esters have to be chosen.
Concept Introduction:
Carbonyl groups are the one which contain a double bond between carbon and oxygen atom.
If a hydroxyl group is attached to a carbonyl group means it is known as carboxyl group. This can be represented as shown below,
