Assertion: Acetic acid does not undergo haloform reaction.
Reason: Acetic acid has no alpha-hydrogen.

Options

A. Statement `I` is true , Statement `II` is true , Statement `II` is the correct explanation of Statement `I`.
B. Statement `I` is true , Statement `II` is true , Statement `II` is not the correct explanation of Statement `I`.
C. Statement `I` is true , Statement `II` is false.
D. Statement `I` is false , Statement `II` is true.

Answer

C

Explanation

Only aldehyde `(CH_3 - CHO)`, ketone
`(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-)` and alcohol `(CH_(3)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-)`. Groups undergo haloform reaction. `alpha-H` atoms are present in acetic acid. Hence, Statement `(I)` is true but Statement `(II)` is false.
