Solution

The correct option is C oxidation of propanol using alkaline $K M n O_{4} .$
Propanoic acid is formed by oxidation of propanol in the presence of alkaline $K M n O_{4}$ as:
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H h e a t - --------- \to a l k a l i n e K M n O_{4} C H_{3} C H_{2} C O O H$
Hence, the correct option is C.
