An organic compound X is oxidised by using Acidified \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]The product obtained reacts with phenyl hydrazine but does not answer silver mirror test. The possible structure of X is

A)                                                                                            \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]  

B)                                    \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\]

C)                                                                                          \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHOH\]  

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

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

Ketone (ie, acetone) reacts with phenyl: hydrazine but does not give silver mirror test.
