Solution

The correct option is C

Oxidation by heating with copper followed by reaction with Fehling's solution.


When 1-propanol is heated with copper, it is oxidized to aldehyde which on passing through Fehling's solution gives red ppt. whereas 2-propanol on heating with copper, get oxidized to ketone which doesn't react with Fehling's solution.
