Solution

The correct option is D Pentan-3-one
Iodoform test is given by compounds which have $(C H_{3} - C O -)$ group or $⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \begin{matrix} H | C H_{3} & - C & - | O H \end{matrix} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠$ group.

Hence, Pentan-2-one, $C H_{3} C H O$ and $C_{2} H_{5} O H$ give this test. But Pentan-3-one $(C H_{3} C H_{2} C O C H_{2} C H_{3})$ does not give iodoform test.
