Solution

The correct answer is: Organic compounds containing a COOH group.

Carboxylic acids are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group (COOH). The COOH group is made up of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (OH). This is what gives carboxylic acids their acidic properties. The other options listed do not accurately describe the structure of carboxylic acids.
