    B)                 Hydroxylamine

    C)                 Fehling solution               

    D)                 Sodium bisulphite

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CHO+2C{{u}^{+2}}+5O{{H}^{-}}\to \underset{\operatorname{Re}d\,\,ppt}{\mathop{C{{u}_{2}}O}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}O\]\[+{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]                                 \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}+2C{{u}^{+2}}+5O{{H}^{-}}\to \text{No}\,\,\text{reaction}\]
