Solution

The correct option is C $H C H O$
Grignard reagents act as nucleophiles that attack the electrophilic centre of formaldehyde to give primary alcohol.

The reaction for the formation of a primary alcohol is as follows:

$R M g X + H C H O \to R C H_{2} O H + M g X O H$

Option C is correct.
