Solution

The correct option is C Among $C H_{3} ↓ C H = O, H_{3} C - ↓ C \equiv N$ , and $H_{3} ↓ C - I$
Among $C H_{3} ↓ C H = O, H_{3} C - ↓ C \equiv N$ , and $H_{3} ↓ C - I$ , the arrow-marked $C$ atoms are electrophilic centers, as they will have partial positive charge due to the polarity of bond.
Hence, they can accept electrons from nucleophile.
