Solution

The correct option is D $C_{2} H_{5} O H$
The compound is forming $C_{2} H_{4} O$ on oxidation and it is evolving hydrogen gas with sodium metal.

The compound that is formed is ethanal and the given compound is ethanol ( $C_{2} H_{6} O$ ) or $C_{2} H_{5} O H$ which gives positive iodoform test.

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + [O] N a_{2} C r_{2} O_{7} / H^{+} - -------- \to C H_{3} C H O + H_{2} O$

Option D is correct.
