Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
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.
