Which of the following organic compounds answers to both iodoform test and Fehling's test?

Options

AEthanol
BMethanal
CEthanal
DPropanone

Correct answer

C. Ethanal

Step-by-step solution

The compound which contains - COCH ₃ group in its structure, give positive iodoform test and the compound which contains - CHO group give positive Fehling test. In ethanal, CH ₃ CHO both the groups are present, hence it responds to both iodoform test and Fehling's test.
