    D)  ethanol

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Ethanal gives both iodoform and Fehlings tests \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+\underset{blue}{\mathop{2C{{u}^{2+}}}}\,+3O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow[\begin{smallmatrix}  Fehling \\  \,\,\,\,test \end{smallmatrix}]{\Delta }C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]                                                 \[\underset{red\,ppt.}{\mathop{+2C{{u}^{+}}\downarrow }}\,+2{{H}_{2}}O\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+3{{I}_{2}}+4NaOH\xrightarrow[\begin{smallmatrix}  Iodoform \\  \,\,\,\,test \end{smallmatrix}]{\Delta }\underset{iodoform}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}I\downarrow }}\,\] \[+\text{ }HCOONa+3NaI+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
