The compound which cannot reduce Fehling solution is

A) \[HCHO\]                            

B) \[HCOOH\]

C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]          

D) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

                 Compound containing\[(CHO)\]group reduces Fehling solution. Formic acid\[(HCOOH)\]also has a\[CHO\] group as So,\[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]doesn't reduces Fehling solution Note Aromatic aldehydes however, do not reduce Fehling's solution.
