Correct answer: C.

Benzene ring should not be attached to O atom otherwise it will yield phenol after reacting with $HI$ so third option is prefect which gives benzyl iodide and it gives yellow precipitate of $AgI$ after reacting with ${AgNO}_{3}$ . Another product tautomerises and gives acetaldehyde which gives iodoform test.
