Solution

The correct option is B
The compound forms a yellow precipitate with iodine and NaOH, this means that the compound gives the Iodoform test.
Thecondition for the compound to give the Iodoform test is the presence of $- C O C H_{3}$ group.

Thus (c) and (d) are incorrect due to absence of $- C O C H_{3}$ group.
Between option (a) and (b):
The molecular formula of the compound in option (a) is $C_{8} H_{8} O$ and that of (b) is $C_{8} H_{10} O$
(b) is the correct option
The reaction is :
