The correct answer is:

Salicylic acid will give phenol with CaO and NaOH. When carboxylic acids are heated with sodalime, they undergo decarboxylation. 

When phenol is distilled with Zn-dust, it gives benzene.

The reaction on salicylic acid with bromine water is an example of oxidation and electrophilic substitution reaction. Salycylic acid in this reaction converts to 2,4,6-tribromo phenol.

When salicylic acid is heated, it decomposes to phenol and carbon dioxide.
