1. A photosensitive composition, which comprises (A) a compound capable of generating an organic acid represented by formula (I) upon irradiation with actinic ray or radiation:
Z—A—X—B—R—(Y)n  (I)
wherein Z represents an organic acid group;
A represents a divalent linking group;
X represents a divalent linking group having a hetero atom;
B represents an oxygen atom or —N(Rx)—;
Rx represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group;
R represents a monovalent organic group substituted with Y, and when B represents —N(Rx)—, R and Rx may be bonded to each other to form a cyclic structure;
Y represents —COOH or —CHO, and when a plurality of Y's are present, the plurality of Y's may be the same or different; and
n represents an integer of from 1 to 3.
