Solution

The correct option is A aldehydes which can be further reduced to alcohols by hydrogen
Alkenes combine with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in presence of octa carbonyl dicobalt as catalyst under high temperature and pressure to form aldehydes which can be further reduced to alcohols by hydrogen.
$R - C H = C H_{2} + H_{2} + C O [C o_{2} (C O)_{8}] - ------------------ \to high temperature and pressure. R C H_{2} C H_{2} C H O_{2} R C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H$
