The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the organic compound and determine its structure based on the tests it responds to. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functional Groups**: - The compound contains **one oxygen atom**. - It gives a **red color with ceric ammonium nitrate solution**, indicating the presence of an **alcohol** (–OH group). - It **decolorizes alkaline KMnO4**, suggesting the presence of an **alkene** (C=C double bond). - It **responds to the iodoform test**, indicating the presence of an **acetyl group** (–C(=O)CH3 or a methyl ketone). - It shows **geometrical isomerism**, which is characteristic of unsymmetrical alkenes. 2. **Combine the Functional Groups**: - From the above points, we deduce that the compound must have: - An **alcohol group** (–OH) - An **alkene** (C=C) - An **acetyl group** (–C(=O)CH3 or a methyl ketone) 3. **Analyze the Options**: - We need to check each option to see which one contains all the required functional groups and can exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Option A**: pH CH=CH-CH2OH - Contains an alcohol and a double bond but lacks an acetyl group. **(Incorrect)** - **Option B**: CH3-CH=CH-OH - Contains an alcohol, a double bond, and has a methyl group attached to the carbon adjacent to the double bond, which can act as an acetyl group. This structure can also show geometrical isomerism. **(Correct)** - **Option C**: CH3-CH=O - Contains a double bond and a carbonyl group but lacks an alcohol group. **(Incorrect)** - **Option D**: CH3-CH2-OH - Contains an alcohol but lacks a double bond and an acetyl group. **(Incorrect)** 4. **Conclusion**: - The only option that meets all the criteria (alcohol, alkene, acetyl group, and geometrical isomerism) is **Option B**: CH3-CH=CH-OH. ### Final Answer: The required organic compound is **Option B: CH3-CH=CH-OH**.
