Solution

The correct option is C
Compounds with phenol group gives green colouration with FeCl3.
Hence, compound (A) is phenol.

Phenol on treatment with CHCl3+Aq.NaOH followed by hydrolysis gives salicylaldehyde. This reaction is known as Reimer-Tiemann reaction.

PCC will oxidise primary alcohol to aldehyde.


Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
