Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`{:(underset("Pentan-1-ol")(CH_(3)[CH_(2)]_(4)OH)" "underset("Pentan-2-one")(CH_(3)COCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))),(underset("Pentan-3-one")(CH_(3)CH_(2)COCH_(2)CH_(3))" "underset("Pentanal")(CH_(3)[CH_(2)]_(3)CHO)):}`
Only pentan-2-one with `CH_(3)CO-` group will give iodoform test.
