Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
`{:(underset((A))underset("2-Hydroxypropane")(CH_(3)-overset("OH")overset("| ")"CH"-CH_(3))" "underset((B))underset("Acetophenone")(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset("||")C-C_(6)H_(5))),(underset((C))underset("Methyl acetate")(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset("||")C-OCH_(3))" "underset((D))underset("Acetamide")(CH_(3)-overset(O)overset("||")C-NH_(2))):}`
Only methyl ketone `(CH_(3)COCH_(2)R)` and methyl carbinols `(CH_(3)CH(OH)CH_(2)R)` give iodoform test. Esters and amides do not give iodoform test.
