Answer:

E) HBr

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Bromine (Br) isn't part of the original formula for Apirin. (I answered this based on the assumption that the letter "A" in option C was a typo of sorts, since there is no element with a chemical symbol of just "A" that I am aware of. If this is incorrect, then I apologize.)
